WASHINGTON -- About 75,000 of "Perfect Resistance" fitness bands are being recalled.

The fitness bands can detach from the mesh cloth loops and pose injury to its user or anyone nearby.  Implus Footcare has received reports of twelve such cases, including injuries to the back, hand, and eye.

The bands were sold exclusively at Walmart and online at PerfectOnline.com.

Consumers should stop using the fitness bands and contact Implus Footcare for a refund or replacement product at 800-446-7587 or return them to their local Walmart for a full refund (See statement below).

Walmart statement on recall

“We are absolutely committed to providing our customers with safe products. As soon as we were notified by the manufacturer of this issue, we pulled the merchandise from our shelves last month. We also programmed our registers to block the sale of these items.

Customers who may have previously purchased the product are welcome to return it to their local store for a full refund.”
