Shindaiwa Corp. Recalls Backpack Blowers Due to Laceration and Impact Hazards

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

Recalled product: Shindaiwa Corp. Recalls Backpack Blowers Due to Laceration and Impact Hazards

The hazard

The blower's impeller (fan) can separate from the base and break apart, causing plastic pieces to be blown out of the machine, and pose a laceration and impact hazard to consumers. The flying pieces also can cause property damage and injury to bystanders.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the backpack blowers immediately and contact Shindaiwa for the closest dealer location to schedule a free inspection and impeller replacement. Consumers who have registered their equipment should have already received correspondence from Shindaiwa about this recall.
