DR Power PRO MAX30 mowers recalled for blade control failure

The blades on certain DR Power PRO MAX30 walk-behind lawn mowers can keep running even after you release the control lever, or may start spinning without the control being engaged. This creates a serious risk of cuts or lacerations. The manufacturer has received 19 reports of this problem but no injuries yet.

  • Stop using your mower unless you've already received and installed a free repair kit from DR Power.
  • Check your mower's serial number (printed on the left side in front of the rear wheel) against the affected ranges listed at drpower.com.
  • Contact DR Power at 1-888-DR-POWER or visit drpower.com to request a free repair kit or schedule a free repair at an authorized dealer.
  • Do not use the mower until the repair is complete.
