Fiskars has reannounced the recall of about 277,000 Titanium Bypass Lopper shears (model 6954) because the handles can snap while cutting branches. This defect has caused 33 reported incidents, including 10 since the original 2014 announcement, leading to injuries such as pinched fingers, bruising, and cuts to the head and face that required stitches. These 32-inch loppers were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores and online from May 2011 through June 2014. Consumers should stop using the shears immediately and contact Fiskars for a free replacement.
The steel handles can break under pressure during use, causing the user to lose control and potentially suffer serious lacerations or impact injuries from the broken tool. Several users have reported significant injuries to the face and head requiring medical attention.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lopper shears and contact Fiskars to receive a free replacement lopper.
