What does the CPSC warning about Sperax walking pads say?
The CPSC’s warning 26-415, dated April 16, 2026, tells consumers to stop using Sperax Pro, Q1, RM-01 and RM-02 walking pads and treadmills immediately, and to dispose of them1. It describes the hazards as fall, burn and fire. The products are black with red trim, and the model number is on a label near the power switch1.
On falls, the CPSC cites 201 reports of uncontrollable speed, abrupt stops and similar stability-related failures. Those led to at least 66 falls or injuries, including at least one concussion that needed medical attention1. On heat, it cites 573 reports of overheating, fires and other thermal incidents, including four reports of minor burns1.
The CPSC names the importer as Quanzhou Wentelai Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Sperax, and says the products were made in China and sold on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, NewEgg.com and eBay.com1. It says the importer has refused to agree to an acceptable recall, and that the company objects to the warning1.
What should you do if you own a Sperax walking pad?
These are the CPSC’s steps, plus a model check based on the label description on its page.
- Check the model: the warning covers the Sperax Pro, Q1, RM-01 and RM-02, and the model number is on a label near the power switch1
- Stop using it immediately and dispose of it1
- Don’t sell it or give it away. The CPSC’s wording is “Do not sell or give away these hazardous products”1
- Report an incident at SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET1
Can you get a refund for a Sperax walking pad?
The CPSC page doesn’t say. It mentions no refund, repair or replacement, and it says the importer refused to agree to a recall1. Whether you can get money back is unknown from the CPSC’s page.
Asking the seller you bought from is a reasonable step. The CPSC lists Amazon.com, Walmart.com, NewEgg.com and eBay.com as the places the products were sold, so your order history shows which one to contact1. That is our suggestion, not a remedy the CPSC describes, and no seller is promised to offer a refund.
Does the warning cover Urevo, WalkingPad or DeerRun?
No. The warning names only the Sperax Pro, Q1, RM-01 and RM-02. It doesn’t name Urevo, WalkingPad, DeerRun or LifeSpan1.
We also searched the CPSC’s recall service for WalkingPad, Kingsmith, DeerRun, Urevo and LifeSpan, and its warning listing, between October 20 and 24, 2026. None showed a recall or warning naming those brands2429. That is a record check on one date, not a safety clearance. A missing record doesn’t mean no incidents happened.
None of the WalkingPad, DeerRun, Urevo and LifeSpan pages we read lists a UL or ETL mark, and none states compliance with the treadmill standard ASTM F2115. LifeSpan says the TR1200B is FCC and CE certified20. Ask the maker before you buy, and search the CPSC again for the exact model.

Prices are the makers’ US store prices before tax, checked October 30 to November 6, 2026, and change often. Every figure is the maker’s own, not an independent measurement. Where a page and a manual disagree, both figures are shown, and the lower limit is the one to plan around.

Which reviewed pad fits which need?
Each suits a different need, and this isn’t a ranking. None has been named in a CPSC warning, and that isn’t a promise they are free of problems.
- Choose the LifeSpan TR1200B Pro Glow-Up if you want the one stop in our reviews that doesn’t rely on the remote or app, a 330 lb limit and a 10-year frame warranty, and you can pay $1,199 for the base. LifeSpan ended 30-day returns on Feb 1, 20252022
- Choose the DeerRun Q2 Urban if you want a low price (it was $119 on Oct 30, and the sale ended Nov 2, so check the store), a 300 lb limit and a 7% manual incline, and you’ll stop the belt yourself before stepping off6
- Choose the Urevo SpaceWalk E1L if you want a flat pad under $200 and weigh under 265 lb. Urevo’s warranty and return terms conflict between its pages1418
- Choose the Urevo SpaceWalk 5L or Urevo CyberPad for Home if you want automatic incline, and plan on the manual’s lower weight limit: 300 lb and 264 lb913
- Choose the WalkingPad Z1 or WalkingPad C2 if you want a pad that folds. The Z1 holds 242 lb and the C2 220 lb, and a prepaid return label for the C2 may cost $100 or more24
What to check before you buy any walking pad
Search the CPSC’s recalls and warnings and SaferProducts.gov for the exact brand and model. The Sperax warning is the reason to do it, since those pads were sold on large marketplaces1. Our recall and CPSC warning tracker lists this warning beside the CPSC’s sauna blanket recalls, and the date we last searched each brand we review.
Ask how the belt stops. In our reviews, six of seven pads list no safety key, and several don’t say whether the belt stops if you step off2369121419. Read the weight limit in the manual, not only on the store page. Then look at warranty and return terms, since the pads differ by a lot. For the full comparison, see WalkingPad C2 vs Z1 vs DeerRun Q2 vs Urevo E1L, Urevo walking pads compared, walking pads with incline and walking pad vs under-desk treadmill. For whether a pad is worth owning at all, see the walking pads evidence review.
