Fiskars has recalled approximately 277,000 Titanium Bypass Lopper shears (model number 6954) because the handles can snap while cutting branches. There have been 11 reports of the handles breaking, resulting in bruising and cuts, including injuries to the head and face that required stitches. These shears have 32-inch dark orange steel handles with black rubber grips and were sold exclusively at Home Depot between May 2011 and June 2014. Fiskars is providing free replacement loppers to affected customers.
The lopper handles can break unexpectedly when force is applied to cut a branch, causing the user to lose control or be struck by sharp broken pieces. This failure has caused serious lacerations and facial injuries requiring medical intervention.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lopper shears and contact Fiskars to receive a replacement lopper.
