The civil penalty also settles charges thatPeloton distributed recalled treadmills, which violates the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. “As such, Peloton continues to pursue the CPSC’s approval of a Tread+ rear guard that would further augment its safety features," the company said.
