What’s the Problem?
The safety concerns tied to these Sperax machines are broader than a typical treadmill defect. According to CPSC, affected units can suddenly and unexpectedly change speeds or come to an abrupt stop. That creates an obvious fall hazard because the user may have almost no time to adjust before losing balance.
The problem is not limited to stability-related failures. CPSC also warned that these products have been linked to overheating, fires, and other thermal incidents. For a machine that may be used in a bedroom, apartment, office, or home gym, that raises not just injury concerns, but also property-damage and household fire risks.
Latest Updates
- April 16, 2026 – CPSC issued Product Safety Warning No. 26-415 telling consumers to stop using Sperax walking pads and treadmills immediately due to fall, burn, and fire hazards. The agency said affected models include the Pro, Q1, RM-01, and RM-02, and reported 201 complaints involving uncontrollable speed, abrupt stops, and similar stability failures that resulted in at least 66 falls or injuries, including at least one concussion requiring medical attention. CPSC also reported 573 overheating, fire, and other thermal incidents, including four reports of minor burns, and stated that Sperax had refused to agree to an acceptable recall. [1]
Product Identification
This warning involves Sperax walking pads and treadmills marketed and sold under the Sperax brand name. CPSC identified the affected models as:
- Pro
- Q1
- RM-01
- RM-02
The products are described as black with red trim, and the model number is located on a label near the power switch. That detail can matter in any potential claim, especially where the consumer still has the machine, original packaging, online order records, or photos showing the unit after an incident.
Incidents and Injuries
The reported incident history here is substantial. CPSC said it was aware of 201 reports involving uncontrollable speed, abrupt stops, and similar stability-related failures. Those reports resulted in at least 66 falls or injuries.
CPSC also said it was aware of 573 reports of overheating, fires, and other thermal incidents, including four reports of minor burns. Those figures matter because they suggest the warning was based on repeated real-world problems rather than a single isolated complaint.
Where They Were Sold
The warning states that the walking pads and treadmills were sold online through e-commerce platforms, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, NewEgg.com, and eBay.com. The products were manufactured in China.
What Consumers Should Do Now
CPSC urged consumers to stop using the walking pads and treadmills immediately and dispose of them. The agency also warned consumers not to sell or give away these products.
If an incident has already happened, it may be important to preserve the machine, purchase records, photos, medical records, and any fire or repair documentation before disposal, if that can be done safely.
Do You Qualify for a Sperax Walking Pad Lawsuit?
A legal review may be appropriate if a Sperax walking pad or treadmill suddenly changed speed, stopped without warning, overheated, smoked, or caught fire and caused injuries or other measurable losses. Claims are usually stronger when the product can be identified clearly and the event is supported by medical records, photographs, receipts, or witness statements.
Evidence to Gather
- Photos of the treadmill or walking pad and model label
- Amazon, Walmart, NewEgg, or eBay order records
- Medical records if a fall or burn injury occurred
- Photos of damage, overheating, smoke, or fire evidence
- Repair, insurance, or property-damage records
