WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Wednesday announced a nationwide recall of Nordic Track and Reebok inversions benches because of a safety hazard.

Icon Health and Fitness Inc. initiated the recall of the 22,000 Chinese-manufactured benches because the ankle clamp mechanism can release unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The recalled benches invert users by securing their ankles in a locking device and rotating the bench. The Nordic Track bench is model number 831.14595.0 and the Reebok bench is model number RBBE1996.0. The model number is located under the seat of the bench.

Consumers can obtain recall information by contacting Icon Health & Fitness at 866-506-9095.
