The mother of a man who died while using his Peloton stationary bike has sued the fitness company, accusing it of not properly warning customers of the exercise machine’s potential danger.

Ryan Furtado, 32, died in January 2022 while using his Peloton Bike+ for an at-home workout. According to a lawsuit filed by his mother, Johanna Furtado, the company failed to make the bike safe for users.

“The Subject Bike is defective and unreasonably dangerous in design, instruction, and warning,” says the complaint, filed in New York state court. “Peloton sold the Subject Bike to Ryan in a defective and unreasonably dangerous condition.”
