Treadmills should help you walk or run in place, but only when you’re ready to do so. That’s why Nautilus recalled about 7,300 of its T616 and T618 treadmills.
The exact problem, simply stated in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert: “The treadmills can start on their own, posing a fall hazard to a user.”
Nautilus has 21 reports of the treadmills being self-starting, but claims no injuries.
