WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Ariens Co., of Brillion, Wis., is recalling about 40,000 walk-behind lawn mowers sold under the Ariens, Scotts, and Husqvarna brand names. The piece attaching the blade to the mower can crack and break off. The broken piece or the blade can be propelled from underneath the mower, possibly injuring the operator or a bystander.

Ariens Co. has received four reports of the broken piece or detached blade being propelled from underneath the mower. One consumer was struck in the leg and received a bruise.

The recalled Ariens, Scotts, and Husqvarna rotary lawn mowers are walk-behind, 21-inch gas-powered mowers. The Ariens mower has an orange mower deck with black handlebars. The Husqvarna and Scotts mowers have an orange mower deck with gray handlebars. A label on the top of the deck area behind the engine of the mowers has the following model and serial numbers:
