Briggs & Stratton is recalling about 2,800 orange Simplicity brand zero-turn riding mowers, garden tractors, and mower deck attachments. The chute deflector on these machines can fail, allowing debris to be thrown out as projectiles. These products were sold at Briggs & Stratton dealers nationwide between August 2014 and May 2015. Consumers should stop using the recalled equipment and contact a dealer for a free repair.
The mower's chute deflector can fail to block objects from being expelled from the deck. This allows debris to be launched at high speeds, posing a serious risk of injury to the operator or bystanders from projectiles.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact a Briggs & Stratton dealer to schedule a free repair.
