There's no getting out of trouble on this, they were entirely negligent.

A lot of people, though, wanted to blame the parent(s) as I recall.

Peloton are going to have to buy back ALL of these devices, and quickly.

And I'll tell you why they're doing this ... there's internal emails of employees saying that this shit ain't safe, and being rebuffed. And it was over, I would bet, a part that costs like $20, that the execs didn't want to include cause it cut into margins.

On an already wildly profitable product I would add.
