Within a week of each other, two families have filed a lawsuit against New York company Peloton, the maker and distributor of coveted high-end indoor fitness equipment, claiming that their creation caused injuries to their children.
Parents Sarah and Ygal Saadoun told the New York State Supreme Court that their 3-year-old son, identified only as S.S. in court records, was trapped under the treadmill at a family friend s house and suffered injuries and burns on his back and shoulder.
