CPSC, Country Home Products, Inc. Announce Recall for Repair of Cordless Electric Lawnmowers
Hazard
A wiring problem on the lawnmower's circuit board may cause some of the safety functions to become inoperable. The mower may continue to operate, after the Operator Presence Control Bar is released. The blade also may continue to spin for an extended period of time, after the mower has been shut off. Contact with a moving lawnmower blade can result in lacerations or serious injury to the hand or foot.
