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

What’s wrong with it?

The jack lifts can have threads stripping or the nuts breaking, resulting in the shaft slipping and the mower falling from its stand-up position. This could cause serious personal injury to the consumer or property damage.
