Makita U.S.A. is recalling approximately 2,600 cordless hedge trimmers because a teal-colored guard is missing from the shear blade. The affected models include XHU07 and XHU08 trimmers sold at home improvement stores, hardware stores, and online retailers like HomeDepot.com and Amazon.com between February 2022 and June 2022. Consumers can return the product to Makita for a free repair, which includes the installation of the missing safety guard.
The missing safety guard exposes users to the sharp, moving blades during operation, creating a serious laceration risk. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cordless hedge trimmers and contact Makita U.S.A. Inc. for a free repair. Makita will provide consumers with a merchandise return label to ship the trimmers back to the firm for the free installation of a new blade guard. The firm will return the repaired trimmer with a teal-colored guard on the blade.
