Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
When the handlebar is released on the recalled lawnmowers, the motor could continue to run, which causes the blade to continue to spin. In addition, there is excessive heat build up in the wire coil inside the housing and also in the safety key.
