CPSC, Ames True Temper Announce Recall of Wheelbarrows
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The plastic wheel assemblies on these wheelbarrows, manufactured by a predecessor company, can break when being inflated with high-pressure air hoses. This can result in plastic pieces exploding from the rims of the wheels, possibly hitting nearby consumers and causing lacerations and other injuries.
What to do
Consumers should not inflate the tires on these wheelbarrows. Consumers should contact Ames True Temper to receive a free replacement steel wheel assembly.
