CPSC, Kyodo America Recall LawnBott Lawn Mowers Due to Laceration Hazard
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi S.p.A., of Italy
Hazard
The cutting blades continue to rotate when the mower is lifted from the ground and the spacing on the side of the lawn mower could allow room for a consumer's foot to go beyond the shield and be struck by the blade. Both instances pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled LawnBott lawn mowers immediately and contact Kyodo America to register their lawn mowers for repairs that will be ready by the end of June. Consumers who have registered their mower with Kyodo America have been sent direct notification by mail.
Sold at
Kyodo America dealers nationwide from January 2006 through December 2007 for between $1,750 and $2,750.
