Peloton CEO John Foley sent a letter to Tread+ owners Thursday issuing the warning and citing the tragic accident.
Foley didn’t go into detail about what happened.
He said Peloton is “aware of only a small handful of incidents involving the Tread+ where children have been hurt.”
The exercise equipment company said in a statement it is shocked and saddened by the incident.
In general, exercise equipment can be particularly dangerous for children.
A 2014 U.S. National Institutes of Health study found that 25,000 kids under the age of 10 are injured by exercise equipment each year.
