7 official CPSC notices naming Lawn-Boy, 1993–2002, across power tools.
Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced recall once; 2 of 7 notices add a unit count. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
7 notices where the recalled products are lawn mowers.
The vendor who manufactured the mulch plates for Lawn-Boy used the wrong material, making the plates brittle and easy to crack or break if struck by a stone or stick while mowing. Objects coming through a broken plate or pieces of the plate could possibly injure the operator or bystanders.
Stress cracks can develop in the mower's fuel tank, allowing gasoline to leak and posing a risk of fire and burn injuries.
The recall contact each official notice gives, newest first. Contacts can change after a notice is published; the notice itself is the final word.
