CPSC, Snapper, Inc. Recall Lawn Mowers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The 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.

What to do

Consumers who have removed the bag and attached the side discharge deflector should stop using these walk-behind lawn mowers with the deflector and return them to their Snapper dealer immediately, for a free replacement.
