Outdoor & Garden Recalls

Hazard: The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.

Hazard: A wiring problem on the lawnmower's circuit board may cause some of the safety functions to become inoperable. The mower may continue to operate, after the Operator Presence Control Bar is released. The blade also may continue to spin for an extended period of time, after the mower has been shut off. Contact with a moving lawnmower blade can result in lacerations or serious injury to the hand or foot.

Hazard: The riding mower's exhaust system can ignite fuel vapors from spilled fuel if the engine backfires.

Hazard: The riding mower's exhaust system can ignite fuel vapors from spilled fuel if the engine backfires.

Hazard: The fuel tank can crack and leak fuel, posing a burn or fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The clips holding the control cable to the handle may be missing, which could cause the blade control device to fail and keep the mower blade running, when it should stop. If the blade control device fails, consumers could suffer serious injuries.

Hazard: The fuel tank could leak gasoline, posing a fire hazard and risk of burn injuries to consumers.

Hazard: The cables on these stands can break, causing the treestand to fall to the ground, posing an injury hazard to consumers.

Hazard: Lawn mowers that have a serial number beginning with a 0 may exhibit improper blade retention that could injure the operator or a bystander, if the blade separates from the mower's housing. In addition, all Snapper mowers purchased after January 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 11020001 and 11024924, may have crankshafts that also adversely affect blade retention and require modification by a Snapper dealer.

Hazard: Spilled fuel can ignite during refueling, when fuel vapors are drawn into the hot muffler.

Hazard: The hose that comes with the propane torch can crack or burst, presenting a fire and explosion hazard.

Hazard: These regulators can leak propane, which can result in a fire or explosion. The leak can cause the appliance flame to be larger than expected, possibly causing burns to nearby consumers and cause nearby combustibles to catch fire.

Hazard: The piece attaching the blade to the mower can crack and break off. The broken piece or the blade can be propelled from underneath the mower, possibly injuring the operator or a bystander.

Hazard: These cylinders could be overfilled, which can cause them to release flammable propane gas unexpectedly, posing a risk of fires and explosions.

Hazard: These sprinkler heads can corrode or minerals, salts and other contaminants in water can affect the rubber O-ring seals. These factors could cause the sprinkler heads not to activate in a fire.

Hazard: The propane may not have contained enough odorant to allow consumers to smell leaking gas, presenting a fire, explosion or thermal burn hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The welding of the slide bed to the slide sidewall can crack and separate and children's fingers can get caught in the space, posing a risk of amputation.

Hazard: The wiring on these mowers can short circuit, posing a fire hazard.

Hazard: The swings connectors, which attach the top bar to the end supports, can crack and the top bar can break off and hit children on the swings.

Hazard: These cylinders can have missing or damaged internal seals in the cylinder valves. Propane can leak, posing a risk of fire, explosion and burn injuries.

Hazard: The grills can be difficult or impossible to turn off and the temperature control can malfunction. This poses fire, burn, and explosion hazards to consumers.

Hazard: A sharp edge on the metal heat shield below the control panel of the grill can cause lacerations to the hands, wrists or arms.

Hazard: Of these cylinders, about 10 could be overfilled, which can cause them to release flammable propane gas unexpectedly, posing a risk of fires and explosions.

Hazard: The lawnmowers' fuel tanks' seam can split or crack, leaking fuel, and creating a fire and burn hazard to consumers.

Hazard: These lighters can leak butane when they are ignited, causing an excessive burst of flame from the tip or other areas of the lighter. This presents a risk of fire and burn injuries to consumers.

Hazard: Fuel can leak from the fuel-line connection, posing a fire hazard.
