In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., of Towson, Md., is voluntarily recalling to repair about 1,300 reconditioned cordless electric lawn mowers. The recalled cordless electric lawn mowers have an orange deck and a charcoal black motor cover.

The lawn mower has the words "Black & Decker" and "Cordless" on top of the motor cover.
Lawn mowers sold at locations other than Black & Decker factory stores are not included in this recall.
Consumers should stop using these lawn mowers immediately and take them to a Black & Decker service center for a free repair.
Black & Decker has not received any reports of injuries with these lawn mowers. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Related Recalls
Grass and debris can accumulate in the trimmer mowers and ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.
The recalled pressure washers lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) and an adequate-length power cord, which may encourage use of an extension cord, posing serious risks of injury or death from shock and electrocution hazards.
The grounding wire for the grill’s heating element can disconnect and lose fault protection, posing an electric shock hazard.
The recalled mowers violate the mandatory safety standard for walk-behind power lawn mowers because the blades can operate without the blade control system engaged or continue to operate even after the release of the control, posing a serious laceration hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
