Treadmill recall expands to include about 47,000 units

The recall said the power cord might not sit securely and could become loose from the treadmill’s power socket during use, creating a fire and burn hazard.

WASHINGTON — Johnson Health Tech North America expanded a voluntary recall of Matrix Retail and Vision treadmills, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

The recall said the power cord might not sit securely and could become loose from the treadmill’s power socket during use, creating a fire and burn hazard. 

There have been at least 27 reports of the power cord socket overheating, posing a burn risk. No injures have been reported. 

The recall covers Matrix Retail T30, TF30, T50, TF50, and T75 treadmills, Vision T9800, TF20, T40, and T80 treadmills sold from April 2012 through May 2025. They cost about $2,100 and $8,100 and were sold at multiple fitness retailers and online outlets nationwide. See a full list here. 

Model names and serial number locations are on the lower front crossbar near the power switch.

Consumers are urged to check their treadmills to see if it has a power cord bracket and make sure the cord is fully plugged in before each use until a repair is completed. 

Owners of affected models can contact Johnson Health Tech North America for a replacement power cord with an automatic locking-style plug to be installed without tools, the CPSC said.

Consumers with questions about the recall can call Johnson Health Tech North America at 800-211-4590, email retailpowercord@johnsonfit.com or visit matrixhomefitness.com/recalls or visionfitness.com/eng/recalls. 

The recall expands an earlier 2024 notice involving commercial Matrix treadmills, which had a similar safety issue.
