Corrects paragraph 4 to clarify that earlier recall was in 2023, not last year

Nov 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday Peloton Interactive PTON.O is recalling about 833,000 units of its Original Bike+ Model PL02 after reports that the seat post assembly could break during use, posing a risk of falls and injuries.

The consumer safety regulator said Peloton has received three reports of the seat post breaking and detaching during use, including two incidents that resulted in injuries from falls.

Consumers have been urged to stop using the recalled bikes immediately and contact Peloton for a free repair. The fitness products maker is offering customers a replacement seat post that can be self-installed.

The recall follows a 2023 voluntary pullback of more than 2 million of Peloton's original model bikes, which were recalled over a similar seat post issue.
