United National Closeout Stores Recalls Exercise Devices
United National Closeout Stores issued a recall for its ISO7X Isometric Exercise Devices on November 19th, 2019. The items were recalled due to a defective handle. The grips on the handle could break during use, leading to additional parts ejecting from the shaft.
The exercise devices are roughly 3 feet long with a large metal shaft, from which two black plastic handle grips hang from nylon straps. The devices were previously recalled in 2014 and were allegedly fixed. Now, after resale, there is another issue.
About 1,500 of the units were recalled. This was due to the fact that there were 10 reports of broken handles that resulted in rod ejection, with another 5 injuries stemming from the incidents. However, these incidents happened in 2014; no new incidents were listed for this recall, but the company decided that it is better to be safe than sorry.
The devices were manufactured in China and imported into Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They were sold at Burlington Stores across the nation from January 2019 to March 2019. They only cost about 7$.
The company recommends that users do not exercise with the devices and pursue a refund.

Incidents from Defective Exercise Devices
An exercise device like the ISO7X can cause many types of accidents if it is defective. If any of the parts fail or break, the internal mechanisms can shatter or eject. This is very dangerous, as the devices are usually held very close to the body and face, and a sudden ejection of a part can be extremely hazardous to the eyesight. Further, people who are nearby can be struck by the parts or pieces, again posing the same kinds of injuries. Some of the injuries that can arise include:- Lacerations
- Puncture wounds
- Bruises
- Cuts
- Abrasions
- Eye damage
- Concussions
- Internal organ damage
- Broken bones
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Vertebrae damage
- Closed head injuries
- Sprains
- Dislocations
- Fractures
- Strains
- Nerve damage
- Muscle damage
- Paralysis
