The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) in addition to the tragic death of a child, Peoloton’s Tread+ had caused a serious safety threat to children and pets as there were multiple incidents of injury to both; (2) safety was not a priority to Peloton as Defendants were aware of serious injuries and death resulting from the Tread+ yet did not recall or suggest a halt of the use of the Tread+; (3) as a result of the safety concerns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) declared the Tread+ posed a serious risk to public health and safety resulting in its urgent recommendation for consumers with small children to cease using the Tread+; (4) the CPSC also found a safety threat to Tread+ users if they lost their balance; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Peloton’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On April 17, 2021, a day the market was closed, the CPSC issued a press release entitled “CPSC Warns Consumers: Stop Using the Peloton Tread+” alerting the public to dangers, including death, associated with the Peloton Tread+.
On this news, Peloton’s stock price fell $16.28 per share, or more than 14% over the next three trading days to close at $99.93 per share on April 21, 2021, damaging investors.
On May 5, 2021, the CPSC and Peloton each issued statements in which the announced that they had come to an agreement to voluntarily recall Peloton’s Tread+ and Tread treadmills. On this news, Peloton’s stock price fell $14.08 per share, or 14%, to close at $82.62 per share on May 5, 2021, further damaging investors.
