Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Because these lawnmowers lack a safety guard, a consumer’s foot could go under the plastic housing and be struck by the blade. These lawnmowers do not comply with the mandatory federal safety standard for lawnmowers under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
