Sperax Walking Pad Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Sperax walking pads and treadmills were the subject of an April 2026 CPSC safety warning after reports that the machines can suddenly change speeds, stop abruptly, overheat, smoke, or catch fire. The warning is especially serious because CPSC linked the products to at least 66 falls or injuries, including a concussion requiring medical attention, along with four reported minor burns.

April 16, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Sperax Walking Pads

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued Product Safety Warning No. 26-415 on Sperax walking pads and treadmills. CPSC told consumers to stop using them immediately and dispose of them [1].

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you own or used a warned Sperax walking pad or treadmill. That includes anyone who fell after a sudden speed change or abrupt stop, or whose unit overheated or burned them. The units are black with red trim. The model number is on a label near the power switch. They were sold online through Amazon.com, Walmart.com, NewEgg.com and eBay.com, and made in China. A claim depends on the facts of your own case, and only an individual legal review can say whether you have one.

Reported Injuries or Damages

CPSC is aware of 201 reports of uncontrollable speed, abrupt stops and similar stability-related failures. These resulted in at least 66 falls or injuries, including at least one concussion that required medical attention. CPSC also received 573 reports of overheating, fires and other thermal incidents. Four of those reports, as received by the agency, describe minor burns. They are not court findings, and they do not prove that the walking pad caused every fall or burn. Losses from such events could include medical bills, lost income and damaged property.

Recall and Regulatory Background

CPSC issued a Product Safety Warning and no recall. No refund or repair has been announced, and the importer objects to the press release. CPSC says not to sell or give away the units. PennLive reported that the importer, Quanzhou Wentelai Import and Export Trading Co. (doing business as Sperax), has refused to agree to an acceptable recall, according to the CPSC [2]. MassLive reported on April 24, 2026 that an official recall had not been initiated [3]. Report incidents or injuries at SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep anything that shows what happened and which product was involved. Useful items include:
  • The walking pad itself
  • The purchase receipt, the order confirmation and the platform where you bought it
  • Photographs of the unit, any damage or burn marks, and the scene
  • Medical records and bills
  • Messages with the seller or Sperax
  • Any SaferProducts.gov report you filed

Filing Deadlines

Time limits for a claim come from state law. They vary with where you live and when the fall, burn or fire happened. A deadline that passes before filing can end a claim over a Sperax fall or burn. If you were hurt, check with a lawyer promptly so you know which deadline may apply to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CPSC Say a Sperax Walking Pad Caused My Injury?

CPSC does not say a Sperax walking pad caused any one person’s injury. It counts reports it received. Reports are not proof of cause in each case, and no court has ruled on them.

How Do I Report a Problem with a Sperax Walking Pad?

You can report a problem with a Sperax walking pad online at SaferProducts.gov. People who use a teletypewriter can call the CPSC TTY line at 800-638-8270. Include your model number and what happened.

How Can I Tell If My Walking Pad Is a Sperax Model?

You can tell if your walking pad is a Sperax model by its label. Look for Pro, Q1, RM-01 or RM-02 on the label, and note the number before you contact CPSC or a lawyer.

What Does the Research Say About Sperax Walking Pad Hazards?

The main research on Sperax walking pad hazards is the CPSC warning itself. It ties the fall, burn and fire hazards to sudden speed changes, abrupt stops and overheating, and the company disputes it.
