The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Oct. 8 a recall of about 42,860 DR Power Equipment Pilot and Premier Trimmer Mowers (recall 27-016). According to CPSC, 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 firm has received 19 reports of mowers catching fire, including two reports of minor injuries. Consumers should stop using them immediately and contact DR Power Equipment for a free repair kit.
