| PRODUCT RECALL - LAWN MOWERS5/17/2008 6:18 PM |
Date
May 2008
Product Name
LawnBott Lawn Mowers.
Full Product Description
This recall involves LawnBott lawn mowers with model numbers LB2000, LB2100, LB3000, and LB3200.
The robotic lawn mowers freely and automatically cut grass by detecting the signal of a perimeter cable.
The mowers have a docking station for recharging and a shiny plastic cover sold in red, green or blue. "Evolution" or "deluxe" is printed on the side of the mower.
Hazard Identified
The cutting blades continue to rotate when the mower is lifted from the ground and the spacing on the side of the lawn mower could allow room for a consumers foot to go beyond the shield and be struck by the blade.
Both instances pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers.
Corrective Action
Consumers should stop using the recalled LawnBott lawn mowers immediately.
Consumers may contact Kyodo America to register their lawn mowers for repairs.
Consumers who have registered their mower with Kyodo America have been sent direct notification by mail
