Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating Sunny Health & Fitness for selling treadmills marketed for routine cardio use while internally warning that extended operation may cause overheating or burning odors.
Reported Issues
Consumer and manufacturer materials reveal concerning limitations:
- Burning smells during ordinary workouts
- Manufacturer guidance advising less than one hour of continuous use
- Warnings of burn marks or damaged wiring indicating overload
- Users unaware of these constraints at purchase
- Early motor failures and melted components reported online
These risks appear inconsistent with how the products are marketed.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Sunny Health & Fitness advertises its treadmills for running and extended cardio. Allegations suggest:
- Design defects incompatible with advertised use
- Material omissions, where usage limits are buried in support pages
- Breach of implied warranty, where normal workouts cause failure
- Economic loss from early breakdown or forced replacement
Consumers are entitled to clear disclosure of safety and performance limitations before purchase.
Signs You May Be Affected
- Sunny Health & Fitness treadmill emits burning odors
- Motor overheats during standard workouts
- Discovered post-purchase limits on continuous use
