No one hurt Made Jul 9, 2019, sent to the company Jul 23, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 6, 2019
The product, in the report: gasoline powered engine on Craftman self propelled lawn mower.
The Briggs & Stratton engine model # 104M050072F1 is deficient in design. The fuel cap cannot be secured tightly, resulting in the cap coming off when the lawn mower is in use. Gasoline splashes onto a hot engine directly adjacent to a now wide open gasoline tank. I do not know if any fires have resulted from this condition, but it would be surprising if there have not been.
I have attempted to express my concerns with Briggs & Stratton, only to be told that my machine’s warranty would be handled by a dealer. I am not concerned about the price of a replacement cap. I am concerned about the safety of the product.
