The product, in the report: Ryobi 13” battery mower, Model P1108VNM
The mower starts on its own. It doesn’t turn off when safety bar is released. It can be started by pressing either the safety button or the safety bar without pressing/holding the other. It can only be turned off by removing battery or removing a red “key” near the battery. Mower was operated by me. Risk is that mower blades don’t turn off. For me, it would be clearing grass from the outlet into the collection bag. There have not been any injuries.

The product, in the report: I’m inquiring about a product we own: a Ryobi Model RY14110A 48 volt 20-inch self-propelled lawnmower (Serial# BMP0780024). Our batteries weren’t charging and my husband pulled them out. They are bulging and look dangerous. I started researching the internet including Home Depot where we bought it, as they are a Ryobi distributor. Many people on the reviews complained about their batteries not holding a charge, some posted pictures of the bulging, and others stated their batteries leaked acid in the garage. Supposedly a poor charger was the cause but Ryobi didn’t contact us. The reviewers also said that Ryobi Customer Service hasn’t been helpful, but a Ryobi Facebook e-mail address was. My husband e-mailed them today and they weren’t helpful and told him to call Ryobi Customer Service. My husband called Ryobi Customer Service and they basically said since our lawnmower was built in 2011 that we are out of warranty. However, we were never notified of a recall and I don’t see one on this website, either. Many reviewers bought new batteries but they just stopped working due to the malfunctioning charger which was causing the batteries to go bad. Some of the Home Depot reviewers had Ryobi reply on the website and suggest they buy a different Ryobi lithium model--even thought they had already spent $400-$500 on this model, plus any battery replacements at $129 a crack. Aren’t companies supposed to replace defunct products/issue a recall? Reviewers commented that there was a recall but hardly anyone (including us) knew about this. I put the bulging batteries in a box in our cool basement. With temperatures hitting 90 degrees this weekend, I didn’t want to risk an incident in our garage due to overheating. However, I also don’t want to get rid of the evidence in case someone wants to see it. I took pictures but the bulging doesn’t show as well in the pictures. Please advise if there is an investigation regarding this product and/or the battery charger. Note: If you look on the Home Depot product site this product has been discontinued: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-20-in-48-Volt-Cordless-Self-Propelled-Lawn-Mower-DISCONTINUED-RY14110A/202042176. Thank you.

No one hurt Made Oct 17, 2012, sent to the company Dec 21, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 9, 2013
The product, in the report: Electric lawnmower, stand behind 20” wide
The consumer says that in late 2011 the battery to his lawn mower failed. He contacted the manufacturer who replaced the battery. The consumer says that in July 2012 he used it once again and it started smoking, battery acid was leaking from it, and almost caught on fire. He unplugged the unit and it took about a day or so for it to cool off. The consumer says he contacted the manufacturer after the incident in July 2012 and they replaced the battery once again.
Now it is going through this cycle when he turns it on. He says it does not turn on and it does not take a charge anymore. He tried to plug the battery into the lawn mower and nothing is happening. This time there was not the presence of battery acid, smoke or heat.
