If you encounter issues with your Aerofit Toning Tube, consider the following:

• Tube Damage: If you notice any nicks, cuts, or tears in the tube, discontinue use immediately. Continued use of a damaged tube can lead to sudden breakage and injury.
• Handle Issues: If a handle feels loose or detached, inspect the connection point. Do not attempt to repair a damaged handle or connection; replace the entire product.
