Stanley Black & Decker is recalling about 46,200 DeWALT 2024 model year Battery 21-inch Push and Self-Propelled walk-behind mowers. If water enters the mower's handle support while the battery is installed, the machine can fail to shut off when the handle is released or start unexpectedly without a key. There have been 10 reports of mowers failing to stop and one report of a mower starting on its own, which caused a finger injury. Consumers should immediately stop using these mowers if they have been exposed to water and contact DeWALT for a free repair at an authorized service center.
The mower's engine can continue to run after the safety handle is released or start up without the safety key inserted, posing a severe risk of lacerations to the hands and fingers. This defect occurs when moisture affects the electrical components in the handle support.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers if the mower has gotten wet and contact DeWALT to receive a free repair at an authorized service center nearby.
