The recalled dumbbells, model 9034 with serial number KK23289034, are adjustable from 10 to 90 pounds in five-pound increments. Users select the weight by turning the handle while the dumbbell is in its plastic storage tray. The product is black with red accents and has “FitRx” printed on both the tray and handles. The model and serial numbers are located on the side of the storage tray.
There have been over 60 incidents of weight plates detaching during use, resulting in at least seven reported injuries. These injuries include bruises, contusions, and abrasions, according to Tzumi Electronics.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Consumers are urged to stop using the dumbbells immediately and to contact Tzumi Electronics for a free repair, which will include a replacement handle and storage tray. The recall was issued on March 20, 2025. The dumbbells were priced between $150 and $200. Tzumi Electronics, based in New York, imported the product, which was manufactured in China.
