A mother has filed a lawsuit against Peloton over the death of her son, who was killed when his exercise bike fell on his neck during a workout in his New York City apartment
NEW YORK — — A woman has filed a lawsuit against Peloton over the death of her son, who was killed when his exercise bike fell on his neck during a workout in his New York City apartment.
Furtado grabbed the bike to hoist himself up, but it “spun around and impacted him on the face and neck," according to the lawsuit filed by his mother, Johanna Furtado. The impact severed Furtado's carotid artery, killing him instantly, according to the lawsuit, which alleges that the equipment was sold “in a defective and unreasonably dangerous condition.”
Lawyers for Peloton responded in court papers that the company was not responsible for Furtado's death because his injuries were caused by his own negligence and by “misuse or abuse of the product.”
