CPSC, Simplicity Manufacturing Inc., Announce Recall to Repair Lawn Tractors and Riding Mowers

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

The hazard

A safety switch under the seat of these lawn tractors and riding mowers is designed to stop the mower blade turning within 5 seconds of the operator leaving the tractor seat. The recalled mowers' blades can continue to turn longer than 5 seconds after the operator leaves the seat, posing a laceration and amputation hazard.

What to do

Consumers should contact the dealership where the lawn tractor or riding mower was purchased to have a free replacement seat safety switch installed.
