A recall has been issued for certain DR Power Equipment Tow-Behind Field and Brush Mowers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) mandated this recall due to a laceration hazard.
The blade carrier spindle bolt in the recalled mowers can become loose, causing the mower blades to detach unexpectedly. This issue came to light after internal testing and consumer feedback.
The recall applies to mowers distributed in the United States through authorized dealers. An official estimate of how many units are affected has not been released. DR Power Equipment is cooperating with regulatory authorities to remove the affected products from outlets and offer appropriate remedies to buyers.
