Lowe’s Riding Mower Recall Issued Over Blade Problems

More than 100 reports of detached mower blades and fuel line leaks has led to a recall of about 11,000 multi-purpose lawn mowers sold exclusively at Lowe’s, because they may pose a risk of injury for bystanders and operators.
The Lowe’s riding mower recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on December 4, impacting Denver Global multi-purpose yard vehicles, which are gas-powered four-wheel drive mowers that can also be used as a garden tractor or portable generator.
At least 82 reports have been received of the mower blades detaching detaching, 34 reports of the fuel lines leaking and six reports of the vehicles and deck blades starting without the operator activating them. At least one bystander has been injured by the recalled riding lawn mowers, suffering a laceration and bruising to the leg from a detached deck blade.
