Country Home Products is recalling approximately 3,900 DR Premier, Pro, and Pro-XL tow-behind leaf and lawn vacuums. The vacuum's muffler can overheat and melt the air cleaner cover, which has led to 20 reports of the units becoming hot to the touch, melting, or catching fire. These tan and black vacuums were sold at Country Home Products, Tractor Supply Company, and authorized dealers between August 2014 and September 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these machines and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
The muffler on the vacuum engine can generate excessive heat during operation, causing the nearby air cleaner cover to melt or ignite. This defect creates a direct risk of fire and can cause burn injuries to anyone operating or standing near the machine.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled leaf and lawn vacuums and contact Country Home Products to receive a free repair kit that contains a replacement muffler and instructions for completing the repair. Consumers unable to install the repair kit should contact the firm for information on authorized dealers who can install the free repair. Country Home Products is contacting all purchasers directly.
