Hitachi Koki is recalling approximately 115,000 Hitachi and Tanaka-brand gasoline-powered, hand-held grass trimmers because the engines can overheat. This defect poses fire and burn hazards to anyone using the equipment. These trimmers were sold at Lowe's, Sears, Amazon.com, and other home improvement stores between March 2010 and November 2013 for between $300 and $800. Consumers should immediately stop using these trimmers and contact the manufacturer for a free repair.
The trimmers can overheat during normal operation, which can lead to a fire or cause burns to the user. While no injuries have been reported yet, the potential for fire poses a significant safety risk.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled grass trimmers and contact Hitachi Koki U.S.A. for instructions on how to return the product for a free repair.
