CPSC, MTD Products Inc. Announce Recall of Grass Bags Used On Electric Lawn Mowers

Hazard

The lawn mowers have a rear-mounted grass bag that does not seal properly to the rear door of the mower, allowing grass and other debris to be thrown out at the top of the bag. This could result in injury to the operator or bystanders.
