CPSC, Snapper, Inc. Recall Lawn Mowers

Hazard

The walk-behind lawn mowers' side discharge deflector, which is sold as an accessory for these models, is defective. The material used to manufacture the side discharge deflector is not strong enough to prevent projectiles from flying out from under the mower deck, exposing consumers and by-standers to possible injuries from flying debris.
