According to a recent lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, Peloton and senior management misled investors about the seriousness of the safety risks posed to children and pets by its Tread+ treadmill. Indeed, Defendants allegedly knew of numerous incidents in which serious injuries and death resulted from the Tread+ yet failed to recall the product.

On April 17, 2021, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") issued a press release warning "consumers about the danger of popular Peloton Tread+ exercise machine after multiple incidents of small children and a pet being injured beneath the machines. The [CPSC] has found that the public health and safety requires this notice to warn the public quickly of the hazard." The CPSC further stated that it "is aware of 39 incidents including one death…. In light of multiple reports of children becoming entrapped, pinned, and pulled under the rear roller of the product, CPSC urges consumers with children at home to stop using the product immediately."

On April 18, 2021, Peloton CEO John Foley issued a statement indicating that Peloton had "no intention" to stop selling the Tread+ or to issue a recall. Following this news, Peloton's stock price fell $16.28 per share - more than 14% - over the next three trading days to close at $99.93 per share on April 21, 2021.

Finally, on May 5, 2021, Peloton announced voluntary recalls of its Tread+ and Tread treadmill machines over safety concerns. Defendant Foley stated: "I want to be clear, Peloton made a mistake in our initial response to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's request that we recall the Tread+." 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.
