The problems came from the touchscreens loosening, detaching and falling, which I would assume is a fairly new problem in the history of treadmill safety.

Edit: main safety issue doesn't seem to be the touchscreens actually

They didn’t include a rear guard so a child was pulled under. They ignore a solved problem for aesthetics.
I do not believe that Peloton is the first treadmill to use a touchscreen, nor are they the first company to install a touchscreen in a high vibration environment.
The touchscreen falls off of the lower-end model, the Tread, and the belt problem is on the high-end Tread+. Two separate recalls.
