Recalled DR Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mower
Check the label first
Compare every letter, number, space and suffix. A similar-looking product with a different suffix may not be part of this recall.
Why it was recalled
The recalled mowers violate the mandatory safety standard for walk-behind power lawn mowers because the blades can operate without the blade control system engaged or continue to operate even after the release of the control, posing a serious laceration hazard.
The manufacturer reported 19 incidents involving the mower blades staying engaged or not stopping after release of the blade control. No injuries have been reported.
The official remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled mowers immediately unless they have already received a free repair kit in the mail from DR Power and it has been installed. If the repair kit has not been installed, contact DR Power to receive updated repair instructions or schedule a free repair from an authorized dealer. Owners who have not received a repair kit should contact DR Power Equipment to receive a free repair kit or schedule a free repair from an authorized dealer.
