Briggs & Stratton is recalling about 1,160 Snapper Rear Engine Riding Mowers with 33-inch decks. A faulty blade engagement lever can allow the mower blades to continue spinning even after the operator releases the foot pedal meant to stop them. These red and black mowers were sold at authorized Snapper dealers nationwide between March 2019 and May 2019 for approximately $2,650. Consumers should immediately stop using these mowers and contact the company for a free inspection and repair.
The mower blades can fail to disengage when the foot pedal is released, keeping the sharp blades spinning unexpectedly and posing a serious risk of laceration or injury to the operator or bystanders. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled riding mowers and contact Briggs & Stratton for a free inspection and repair.
