Las Vegas, NV (January 6th, 2026) – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that Amp Fit Inc. is recalling nearly 2,000 of its AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine. The device’s arm fails to lock correctly, allowing unexpected swinging that creates laceration and serious injury risks.

Understanding the AMP MP2 Defect
The recalled MP2 model is a wall-mounted strength-training device. It offers full-body, resistance-based workouts through an adjustable arm that connects to the Amp Fit digital app platform for customized training programs.
The defect lies within the shoulder cap of the locking mechanism. When this component malfunctions, the weighted arm can swing freely without warning during exercise routines. For Las Vegas residents who invested in home fitness solutions, this manufacturing flaw transforms what should be safe strength training into a dangerous situation.
To date, the company has documented 10 incidents of improper locking, causing head lacerations, and bruising to shoulders and other body parts. These reported cases represent only consumers who contacted the manufacturer. As such, the actual number of injuries may be higher, as not all injured parties file incident reports.
Injury Potential from Defective Fitness Machines
When resistance-based fitness equipment fails unexpectedly, users face severe harm. An arm loaded with resistance weights swinging without control can strike a person’s head, face, neck, shoulders, or torso with considerable force.
The documented injuries, which include head lacerations and shoulder bruising, indicate significant impact trauma. However, the potential severity extends further. Depending on resistance settings and body positioning during failure, victims could experience:
- Deep cuts requiring stitches or surgical repair
- Facial fractures, dental damage, or eye injuries from head strikes
- Shoulder dislocations or rotator cuff tears
- Neck injuries, including whiplash or cervical strain
- Traumatic brain injuries from head impacts
- Broken bones from defense reactions or falls
For Nevada residents using these machines at home, unexpected equipment failure can occur when users are in vulnerable positions during exercises. The surprise of sudden mechanical failure also reduces reaction time, increasing injury likelihood and severity.
Beyond immediate physical harm, victims may require emergency medical care, ongoing treatment from specialists, time away from work during recover, and physical therapy to restore full function. Some injuries may result in permanent scarring, limited range of motion, or chronic pain conditions.
Nevada Product Liability Standards
State law protects consumers injured by defective products through comprehensive product liability statutes. Manufacturers, importers, and sellers can be held accountable when dangerous products cause harm to users in Nevada.
Product liability claims in Nevada typically involve three categories of defects – manufacturing, design, and failure-to-warn. Manufacturing defects occur when production errors make individual products unsafe despite proper design. Design defects exist when the product’s fundamental design creates inherent dangers. Failure-to-warn defects involve inadequate safety instructions or hazard warnings.
The Amp Fir recall appears to involve manufacturing defects, the locking mechanism’s shoulder cap failing to perform its intended safety function. Even one component’s failure can create liability when that malfunction causes preventable injuries.
Nevada law allows injured consumers to seek compensation for all damages resulting from defective products, including past and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, disfigurement or scarring, and reduced quality of life due to permanent injuries.
Manufacturer Response and Consumer Rights
Amp Fit instructs owners to stop using the machines and immediately contact the company to arrange free inspection and repair at consumers’ homes by authorized technicians. The repair involves replacing the defective shoulder cap component to ensure proper locking mechanism engagement.
While the free repair addresses future risk, it doesn’t compensate consumers already injured by the defect. Medical bills, lost income, pain, suffering, and other damages often exceed a product’s purchase price. Nevada consumers who sustained injuries before learning about the recall maintain legal options beyond the manufacturer’s repair program.
Legal Options for Las Vegas Fitness Equipment Injury Victims
For Nevada residents harmed by defective fitness equipment, knowledgeable legal representation may aid in pursuing fair compensation. A dangerous or defective product lawyer understands how to document the connection between product defects and injuries, preserve defective equipment as evidence, identify all potentially liable parties in the manufacturing and distribution chain, and calculate comprehensive damages including future medical needs and long-term impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I own an Amp Fit MP2 Smart Fitness Machine?
Stop using it immediately. The defective locking mechanism creates serious injury risks. Contact Amp Fit at 888-708-9560 to schedule a free at-home inspection and repair. If you’ve already been injured, photograph your injuries and the equipment, seek medical attention, and keep all related documentation before allowing any repairs.
Can I pursue a legal claim if I was injured before the recall announcement?
Yes. Recalls don’t eliminate your right to compensation for injuries caused by defective products. Nevada law permits injured consumers to file product liability claims regardless of recall timing. The fact that injuries occurred before the recall may actually strengthen claims by demonstrating the manufacturer’s delayed response to known hazards.
How long do I have to file a product liability lawsuit in Nevada?
Nevada’s statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally two years from the injury date. However, specific circumstances can affect this timeframe, including when you discovered the injury or its connection to the defective product. Consulting a dangerous product lawyer promptly after an injury ensures you don’t miss critical deadlines.
