CPSC, Snapper Announce Recall of Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers
Hazard
Lawn mowers that have a serial number beginning with a 0 may exhibit improper blade retention that could injure the operator or a bystander, if the blade separates from the mower's housing. In addition, all Snapper mowers purchased after January 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 11020001 and 11024924, may have crankshafts that also adversely affect blade retention and require modification by a Snapper dealer.
