About the Recalled Product
The recalled product is the AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine, a wall-mounted strength-training device with an adjustable arm and digital app integration, manufactured in China and sold exclusively through Ampfit.com. Approximately 1,900 units were sold between January and August 2025 for approximately $1,800 each.
Latest Updates
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on December 18, 2025, warning that the arm on the MP2 model does not lock properly and can swing unexpectedly, posing a risk of laceration or serious injury [1]. Ten incidents have been reported involving the arm failing to lock, resulting in lacerations to the head and bruising to the shoulders and other areas [1].
Why This Defect Is Especially Dangerous
The AMP MP2 is a wall-mounted strength trainer — meaning the user positions their body close to the machine’s moving arm during every exercise. When that arm fails to lock and swings unexpectedly, the user has no distance and no time to react before the impact occurs.
A free-swinging weighted fitness machine arm is analogous to a sudden projectile strike at close range. Lacerations to the head — the injury type documented in the CPSC report — carry risks of concussion, scalp wounds requiring sutures, eye injury, and in severe cases, more serious traumatic brain injury depending on the force and angle of impact.
Reported Injuries
Ten incidents of the arm failing to lock have been reported, resulting in lacerations to the head and bruising to the shoulders and other body areas. Head lacerations from a swinging machine component can require emergency evaluation for underlying concussion even when the external wound appears manageable.
Shoulder bruising from the arm’s unexpected swing may also indicate soft-tissue injury, rotator cuff strain, or contusion of deeper structures — injuries that may not be immediately apparent but can affect function and require treatment over time.
A Premium Product That Failed a Basic Safety Requirement
At approximately $1,800, the AMP MP2 is positioned as a premium home fitness solution. Consumers paying that price for a wall-mounted strength trainer have a reasonable expectation that its core mechanical function — locking an arm in place before the user applies force — works reliably every time. The defect here is not in a secondary or accessory feature: the arm’s failure to lock is a failure of the machine’s fundamental safe operation.
The recall also raises questions about the product’s pre-sale testing. A fitness machine arm that can swing unexpectedly is a failure mode that should be identifiable through standard range-of-motion and load testing before the product reaches consumers.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
If you were injured when an AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine arm swung unexpectedly, you may have a product liability claim against Amp Fit, Inc. Contact an attorney promptly to discuss your options, as state filing deadlines apply.
