Frequently asked questions
How do I find the lot number on the product?
The recall notice does not specify lot numbers or date codes for the Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells. You don't need to locate a specific lot number to participate in this recall. If you own these adjustable dumbbells from Amazon Basics, they are included in the recall. Check the CPSC recall notice or contact Amazon directly for confirmation that your dumbbells are affected.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
The Amazon Basics adjustable dumbbells pose an impact hazard because weight plates can fail to engage properly and dislodge during use. This means heavy metal plates could fall and strike you or others nearby, potentially causing serious injury. Stop using these dumbbells immediately. The recall severity class is not specified, but the risk of falling weights is significant enough that the CPSC issued an official recall.
How do I get a refund for this recall?
Contact Amazon directly to request a refund for the recalled Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells. Amazon is the seller and manufacturer of this product, so they will handle the remedy. Check the official CPSC recall notice for specific contact information and instructions. You may need your order number or proof of purchase. Amazon typically processes refunds through their standard customer service channels.
Is this brand safe to buy now?
This recall affects the Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells specifically due to a weight plate engagement issue. It does not mean all Amazon Basics products are unsafe. However, if you're considering adjustable dumbbells, you may want to wait until Amazon addresses this design flaw or choose a different model. Check for updated versions or alternative products that don't have this weight plate problem.
Is this recall real? How do I verify it?
Yes, this recall is real. It was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the official federal agency that oversees product recalls. You can verify it by visiting the CPSC website at cpsc.gov and searching for "Amazon Basics dumbbells." The official notice will include full details about the recall, including how to get a remedy from Amazon.
