Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ: PTON) shares traded slightly higher in a down day for the market on Wednesday after the company announced a software update for its recalled treadmills.
What Happened? Peloton has announced it is rolling out a software update for its Tread and Tread+ treadmills just two weeks after the products were recalled due to safety issues that led to dozens of injures and one death of a child. The update includes a new “Treak Lock” feature requiring a four-digit passcode to unlock the device for use and re-locks the machine automatically after 45 seconds of inactivity.
Why It’s Important: On the company’s earnings call on May 6, Peloton said it was in the process of working on both software and hardware fixes to its treadmills. For now, sales and deliveries of Tread and Tread+ machines remain halted.
