About 5,100 SpeeCo and Woods 4-way wedge accessories for hydraulic log splitters are being recalled because they can loosen or detach during use and strike users or bystanders. One operator has already reported suffering a concussion after being struck by a detached wedge. These accessories were sold at Tractor Supply Company, Orscheln Farm & Home, and authorized Woods dealers between July 2016 and January 2018 for approximately $70. Consumers should immediately stop using these wedges and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The wedge accessory can suddenly detach or fly off the log splitter while the machine is operating, potentially striking the operator or others nearby with significant force. This has resulted in at least one report of an impact injury causing a concussion.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled 4-way wedge accessory and return it to the place of purchase or contact SpeeCo or Woods for a full refund.
