Tragic Death: Peloton Bike Claims Life of NYC Man in Luxury Apartment

A mother is suing Peloton, alleging that her son was killed when one of its exercise bikes fell on him, severing his carotid artery. The lawsuit claims that Peloton should have identified the risk of injury when using the bike for leverage during floor exercises. This is not the first incident involving a Peloton product, as a 6-year-old was killed and a 3-year-old suffered a brain injury in separate incidents with the Peloton Tread Plus, which has since been discontinued. Peloton denies legal responsibility for the death. The company has faced financial challenges, including recall costs and a shift in consumer spending, but is attempting to rebrand as a "health company" and expand its offerings.
