Mowers Recalled by The Toro Company Due to Injury Hazard

Hazard

Mowers with the optional deluxe seat have an operator presence switch built into the seat that can activate the mower when the operator vacates the seat, posing an injury hazard from the blade to the operator and anyone in the vicinity of the mower.
