Approximately 120,000 Milwaukee-branded nylon hand trucks are being recalled because the plastic wheel rims can break when overinflated. The firm has received five reports of injuries, including lacerations to the face, hands, and wrists caused by the breaking rims. This recall involves Milwaukee models 40615 and 60610 sold at Home Depot and Lowe's nationwide and online from August 2007 through April 2010. Consumers should immediately stop using these hand trucks and contact Gleason for free replacement wheels.
When the hand truck's tires are overinflated, the plastic rims can fail and burst apart, sending plastic fragments toward the user and causing lacerations or other impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hand trucks and contact Gleason to obtain replacement wheels.
