Peloton is reportedly pausing the production of its connected fitness products, including its flagship stationary bike and treadmill, citing a “significant reduction” in global demand, according to internal documents obtained by CNBC.
The company’s stock dropped 16% following the news before trading was halted. After trading resumed, the stock was down as much as 24%.
“Our warehouse was unsafely packed really for months,” one employee, who requested anonymity to speak freely, told Insider. “I guarantee it’s still completely packed to this day. From the day they recalled the Tread, like complete OSHA violations, complete safety violations. Like it’s just crazy.”
Peloton did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on this story.
