Product description
The recalled vacuum is designed to be pulled behind a lawn tractor. The product vacuums leaves and grass, shreds them and collects the shredded material in a large storage chamber. The leaf and lawn vacuums have a red circle with DR printed in black on each side of the chamber.
Reason for recall
These leaf and lawn vacuums have a plastic elbow and blower exit adaptor that is connected to the top of the shredding chamber. The plastic can crack, allowing stones, large sticks, and other material to puncture the plastic. This creates the possibility that pieces of plastic or other debris can fly upward toward bystanders or the operator. When this occurs, the potential for personal injury or property damage exists. This is more prone to occur when the outside temperatures are below 35 degrees.
Remedy, what to do
Country Home Products is notifying all registered owners about this recall. All leaf and lawn vacuums will receive a metal replacement adapter and elbow free of charge. If you have the DR®Leaf and Lawn Vacuum but have not been notified by Country Home Products, please contact Country Home Products.
