CPSC, Snapper, Inc. Recall Lawn Mowers
What was recalled
Snapper lawn mowers with model numbers 216751BV, P2167517BV and FRP 216751BV are part of this recall. The model number can be found on a white label attached to the top of the lawn mower.
Hazard
The walk-behind lawn mowers' side discharge deflector, which is sold as an accessory for these models, is defective. The material used to manufacture the side discharge deflector is not strong enough to prevent projectiles from flying out from under the mower deck, exposing consumers and by-standers to possible injuries from flying debris.
Injuries
None reported.
Where it was sold
- Authorized Snapper dealers sold these mowers nationwide, from March 2002 through April 2, 2002, for about $400.
