The recall notice also says consumers should stop using the recalled bands immediately and contact HomeProGym for a full refund or a $50 HomeProGym store credit. Consumers will be asked to destroy the purple 60-pound resistance and the gray 70-pound resistance bands by cutting them in half, send a photo of the destroyed bands to support@homeprogym.com, and complete the registration form on the company’s recall page. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product. Consumers can continue to use the other bands.
After alerting the company to the issue in April, HomeProGym moved swiftly to protect consumers by removing the problematic models from the market and updating the design of future products.
HomeProGym’s PowerTube Stackable Resistance Bands are tube-style bands with handles at each end. When we first performed an elongation test, in which we secured one end of the resistance band to a post and had a tester pull on the other end using a force gauge, measuring how far the band extended under various levels of force. During this test, the handle of a band rated at 60 pounds detached from the main band before reaching its claimed maximum capacity, causing our tester to stumble and fall.
Because of this failure, we tested each handle of all tube-style resistance bands by securing the band to the top of a table, with one handle over the edge, and placing weights on the handle up to the band’s rating (plus a little extra). Both of HomeProGym’s 60- and 70-pound bands failed this test at weights below their claimed capacity. To verify this, we purchased another set of HomeProGym bands and found the same result. None of the other resistance bands we tested failed in this fashion.
When we initially contacted HomeProGym, they conducted an immediate investigation and found the root cause: The stoppers in the 60- and 70-pound weighted bands are marginally undersized, allowing the tube to slip through a grommet in the handle under high-force loads.
The company provided the following statement at the time:
“HomeProGym bands were designed for portable, gym-grade strength training, and our customers’ safety is our top priority. When a batch-specific issue with our PowerTube 60lb and 70lb bands was brought to our attention, we moved quickly: halting sales, voluntarily filing a Section 15(b) Initial Report with the U.S. CPSC under the Fast Track Recall program, working with our manufacturer on design corrections to prevent recurrence, and contacting all affected customers with a safety notice and remedy options.”
The set was previously available for sale on HomeProGym’s website and through Amazon. The company is currently updating the design for these bands and replacing what was previously a wooden bead inside the tube with a hard-plastic, cone-shaped stopper. CR will purchase and test these updated bands when they are available, and add the models to our ratings of resistance bands.
Frequently asked questions
We are conducting this recall to keep our customers safe and to prevent injuries. A manufacturing tolerance issue was identified in the band end fixture of our 60-pound and 70-pound PowerTube resistance bands. In some units, this can cause the band to forcefully separate from the handle during use, posing a risk of serious injury from impact hazard. We are working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to remove these bands from use.
The recall covers only the purple 60-pound and gray 70-pound PowerTube resistance bands purchased between 10 December 2025 and 11 April 2026 from homeprogym.com or Amazon.com. Each band is colour-coded and has "HOME PRO GYM" and either "ULTRA 60 LBS" or "ULTRA PLUS 70 LBS" printed on the strap. Bands of other resistance levels in the same set are not affected.
In some units from this batch, the internal stopper that secures the resistance tube inside the handle fitting can be undersized due to a manufacturing tolerance issue. Under load, this can cause the band to forcefully separate from the handle, which poses a risk of serious injury from impact. To date we have received 5 reports of separation. No injuries have been reported.
No. Even though your bands appear to be operating normally, we are asking all customers to immediately stop using the affected bands and participate in the recall. Not every unit is affected, but there is no reliable way to identify an affected unit from the outside, so we are recalling all 60-pound and 70-pound bands from this production batch as a precaution.
In three steps:
- (1) complete the registration form at homeprogym.com/pages/recall;
- (2) cut your affected band(s) in half and take a clear photo of the destroyed bands;
- (3) email the photo to support@homeprogym.com with your order number. We acknowledge every response within 24 hours (Mon–Fri) and process your remedy once we have verified the photograph.
Cutting your bands serves two purposes.
- First, it ensures the affected bands cannot be used again by you or anyone else who may come into contact with them, which is the safest outcome for the affected units.
- Second, the photograph of your destroyed bands is your proof of remedy, which is required to process your Store Credit or Refund. You do not need to ship the bands back.
Yes. Email support@homeprogym.com with your name, the email address you used at the time of purchase, and any details that may help us locate your order. We will confirm eligibility and arrange your remedy.
Yes. You can choose either a $50 HomeProGym.com store credit (one flat amount per recall response) or a refund of the value of your affected band(s) attributable to your original purchase. Refund amounts vary by the product you purchased and are shown in the refund table in the "Your remedy options" section above. Refunds are issued to your original payment method on confirmation. If your original order included a discount, the same discount applies to the refund amount.
Only the 60-pound and 70-pound bands are part of this recall. Your 10lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lb, 80lb, and 90lb bands are not affected and can continue to be used as normal.
