WASHINGTON, D.C. – If you bought an Ethos Pull-up Assist used for assistance during pull-ups from Dick's Sporting Goods, stop using it, and return it for a full refund. The company is recalling the pull-ups because the plastic clip on the nylon band that is attached to the resistance band with a carabiner can break, posing a laceration hazard.
The equipment consists of three red resistance bands which are connected with a nylon web band with a plastic clip and metal carabiner that are placed under the users’ feet while performing a pull-up. The word ETHOS appears in red on the black nylon web connector and the style number ETHA200 and UPC number 889751549392 appear on the packaging.
