Shindaiwa Recalls Gas-Powered Hedge Trimmers



June 8, 2005
Shindaiwa is recalling about 25,000 gas-powered professional hedge trimmers. The heat from the hedge trimmer’s muffler can damage the fuel tank, cause a fuel leak and create a fire hazard.

Shindaiwa has received 10 reports of fuel tanks leaking. Two small fires were reported, resulting in minor property damage. No injuries have been reported.

Shindaiwa Gas-Powered Professional Hedge Trimmers are available in both 30-inch and 40-inch sizes. The products have red engine covers, a red fuel cap and a label on the recoil starter that reads “Professional Shindaiwa.” The recall includes all single and double-sided gas-powered professional hedge trimmer models DH231 and HT231 with serial numbers 1010000 through 5050000. The serial number is printed on the engine cover.

The trimmers were sold at Shindaiwa dealers nationwide from January 2001 through April 2005 for between $389 and $449.

Consumers should stop using these hedge trimmers immediately and contact an authorized Shindaiwa dealer to have a new fuel tank and heat shield assembly installed free of charge.

Consumer Contact: Call Shindaiwa toll-free at (800) 521-7733 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit Shindaiwa’s Web site at www.shindaiwa.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
