  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 14, 2018, sent to the company Aug 29, 2018, published by CPSC Sep 13, 2018

    The product, in the report: Yardworks Fireman’s Nozzle Model 274-292.

    I purchased a Yardworks Fireman’s Nozzle, model 274-292 for my home garden hose. I had it maybe a month and used it several times. Having unhooked my garden hose from my outside house spigot because I was going to use it to spray down a driveway I was going to sealcoat at a different location than my house, I transported the nozzle and hose in my work van. After I turned the water on from the spigot at the new location, I reached for the nozzle to turn it on to spray and before I could, the inner brass core shot out and landed so far away I couldn’t find it in the grass. At first, I thought the hose had burst from the popping sound, but realized the brass inner core that actually moves in and out from the nozzle frame, was missing. I examined it and it looked as if it was the failure of the plastic that broke on the inside that I guess the brass fitting is connected to, which I have a picture of. Looks like plastic but maybe zinc or some type of metal. Either way, it was jagged and the failure occurred there.

    I took it back to Menards in Golden Valley Minnesota, today, and exchanged it for a new one. Having looked at the boxes of these nozzles, there were some from 2017 and 2018. I also told the manager on duty about it and also the Returns Customer gal about what happened so Yardworks could be informed. If a person or a child had been standing in front of it when it shot out, injury would have occurred because I couldn’t even locate it on the driveway, which means it shot somewhere into the grass all the way across a 16 foot wide driveway. I’m also, leery about using the new one since this happened, and exchanged it so I could get the correct model number, etc.. Menards has the broken Fireman’s Nozzle the Customer Service gal marked it and was going to give it to the Hardware manager to inform.
