Hazard

Fire hazard because of overheating and ignition of dust inside the treadmill's hood. The dust accumulates because of lack of regular maintenance.

Incidents & injuries

Five reports of fire, resulting in property damage to the treadmill and, in some instances, smoke-related damage to the surrounding area. No injuries reported.
