CPSC, Exmark Manufacturing Announce Recall of Riding Mowers

What was recalled

The recall includes Exmark-brand Lazer Z HP series riding mowers, which are red. They are equipped with 17 to 23 horsepower engines and have mowing decks from 44 to 52 inches. The mowers have independently controlled rear-drive wheels, front casters, and a centrally mounted mowing deck. The brand and series names (Exmark Lazer Z HP) appear on the front of the mower. Some of these riding mowers previously were recalled in February 2001. Even if consumers previously had their riding mower repaired, they need to contact Exmark for this additional repair.

Where it was sold

• Exmark dealers nationwide sold these riding mowers, between January 1998 and December 2001, for between $6,000 and $7,300.
