Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

MTD has recalled about 5,000 Craftsman M350 walk-behind gas-powered lawn mowers. Sharp objects can pierce through the rear collecting bag during operation, potentially striking the user or bystanders. The affected red 23-inch mowers were sold exclusively at Lowe's stores and online from January 2019 through February 2019. Consumers should stop using these mowers immediately and contact a Craftsman Service Center for a free repair.

Risk

The rear collecting bag on these mowers is not strong enough to contain sharp debris picked up by the blade. These objects can puncture the bag and be thrown toward the operator or bystanders, causing serious impact or puncture injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the rear discharge door of your mower for a label containing model number 12ABR2BK793 and a manufacture date (DOM) of 01/2019.
  2. Identify your mower by looking for the Craftsman brand name printed on the top of the black collecting bag, the engine, and the upper handle.
  3. Stop using the recalled lawn mower immediately to prevent potential injury from flying debris.
  4. Contact an authorized Craftsman Service Center to arrange for a free repair of the collecting bag.
  5. You can contact Craftsman toll-free at 866-864-2949 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Saturday, or visit www.mtdproducts.com and click on 'Product Recalls' for more information.
