The suit then states that when he tried to pull himself up, the bike "spun around and impacted him on his neck and face" before severing him open.

Furtado claims that Peloton's machinery is "unreasonably dangerous in its manufacturing and design" and that "the risks of such dangers substantially outweighed any benefit or utility of its design."

Furtado's lawsuit was filed in Brooklyn Civil Supreme Court. It has not been specified what she's seeking in damages.

Peloton has dismissed the lawsuit and is denying the allegations.

"Upon information and belief, the incident giving rise to this action was caused by the negligence or other culpable conduct of one or more parties for which Peloton is not responsible, and, therefore, Peloton is not legally responsible," Pelotonsaid in a formal responseto Furtado's suit.

The suit states that Peloton did not include enough warning labels on the bike "to adequately warn the user of injury that could occur if the Subject Bike is used to pull oneself up from the floor during a workout."
