The Great States Corporation is recalling approximately 1,200 Earthwise cordless electric push lawn mowers with a 17-inch mowing deck. These mowers can unexpectedly start even when the key is not in the starting position, posing a serious risk of injury. The recalled mowers are silver with a black foldable handle and bright green controls, sold at Menards and online via PowerSales and Seventh Avenue between January 2014 and May 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using the mower, remove the battery, and contact the company for a free replacement.
The mower's motor can engage and the blades can spin when the key is not in the 'on' or starting position. This unexpected activation poses a severe laceration or amputation hazard to users who may be near the cutting deck or blades.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled electric mowers, remove the battery and contact Great States Corporation for a replacement mower.
