Summary

One World Technologies is recalling about 300 Ryobi 40-Volt Brushless Snow Blowers (with an additional 370 sold in Canada) because they can overheat during or after use. This defect poses a fire and burn hazard to users, and the company has already received two reports of overheating, including one instance where flames were visible. The affected snow blowers are black and green, feature two front LED lights, and were sold exclusively at Home Depot between November 2015 and February 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using these units and return them for a full refund.
