Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

One World Technologies is recalling about 121,000 Ryobi 8amp Electric Jet Fan Blowers because the plastic fan inside the device can break. If the fan breaks, plastic blades can be discharged from either end of the blower tube, posing a serious risk of cuts. There have been 10,681 reported incidents, including 25 reports of minor injuries like lacerations to the face, hands, and legs. These black and green blowers were sold at Home Depot and online between December 2015 and December 2016.

Risk

The internal plastic fan can shatter during operation, causing sharp fan blade fragments to shoot out of the blower tube at high speeds. This has resulted in reports of lacerations to consumers' faces, hands, and legs.
