Shivvers Manufacturing Recalls Lawn Mower Jacks Due to Collapse Hazard

Reported: September 26, 2008 Initiated: September 26, 2008 #08611

Product Description

The recalled jacks are used for lifting the lawn mower during service or maintenance. Two versions of this jack model have been manufactured. Version number one was made with a nylon nut and version number two was made with a sintered bronze nut. These recalled jacks were sold separately and on Charger, JAZee and Boss riding lawn mowers.

Reason for Recall

The jack lifts can have threads stripping or the nuts breaking, resulting in the shaft slipping and the mower falling from its stand-up position. This could cause serious personal injury to the consumer or property damage.
