These lawn mowers are not equipped with a blade control device that stops the blade within three seconds after release of the controls as required for consumer mowers by the CPSC Safety Standard for Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers. As a result, consumers may be injured from contact with the rotating mower blade.
The company will voluntarily modify those lawn mowers which were purchased by consumers since June 1982, the effective date of the lawn mower standard. This modification program covers only those lawn mowers purchased by consumers for their personal use and does not include lawn mowers purchased for industrial/commercial or professional uses. The company has developed a kit consisting of a blade brake and engine-stopping device which will be installed on the lawn mowers to make the blade stop within the required three seconds after release of the controls.
