Cari Gundee rides her Peloton exercise bike at her home on April 06, 2020 in San Anselmo, California. The family of a New York man claims he was killed by his Peloton bike just six months after buying it, but the company insists that his own negligence caused his death, according to a lawsuit filed in state court. The lawsuit, filed in March 2023 in Brooklyn civil Supreme Court by Furtado's mother Johanna Furtado, is several months old. While at least one child was killed by Peloton's treadmill in March 2021, Furtado's death is the first known fatality linked to the company's ultra-popular exercise bike. Peloton's exercise equipment has gone through numerous recalls over the last few years.
