CPSC, Snapper, Inc. Announce Recall of Riding Lawn Mowers

Hazard

The side discharge chute is defective. The material used to manufacture the side discharge chute 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.
