Counted across all 132 notices on file as of October 31, 2026. Each line says how many notices it rests on.
The Home Depot (17), Lowe's (9), Sears (8), Tractor Supply (3), and Ace Hardware (2) are the stores named most often in the 117 notices that say where lawn mowers were sold. 18 of the 117 notices mention online sales.
The 115 notices that give a price range from $5 to $35,000. Half of them name a price of $1,600 or less.
By the 117 notices that give sale dates, half the products were on sale for 12 months or less; the longest for 11.5 years. Half the recalls came within 13 months of the first sale; the other half reached products that had been on sale longer.

A match means the number appears in an official CPSC notice; open that notice to confirm any date codes or serial ranges it lists.

The place they name most often is “on a decal affixed to the frame, under the seat”.
Follow the remedy in the official notice and contact the firm it names. Across lawn mower recalls, the remedies offered most often are repair (61), replacement (7) and refund (3).
