No incident, no one hurt Made May 16, 2022, sent to the company May 27, 2022, published by CPSC Jun 13, 2022
The product, in the report: Wood Chipper
Product used was a Troy-Bilt Wood Chipper model number 24A-414B766. Impeller is mounted with four flail assemblies. Flails are secured to impeller through a combination of a spring pin and retaining clip. One flail came loose during operation of wood chipper and was tossed about inside the unit until the engine was stopped when the flail jammed the impeller from spinning. Upon inspecting the impeller, discovered retaining clip was missing on all four flail assemblies and three of four spring pins were missing. Fortunately, no injuries. Significant damage noted to flails (especially to the one that broke loose).
Additional information regarding the risk of harm: A technical expert on this product recently advised when the flail released and was tossed around by the impeller, pieces of metal could have been discharged from the side chute. Furthermore, when the flail abruptly forced the engine to stop when it jammed the impeller, there was a risk the engine could have exploded. With this information, I would think it is reasonable to conclude under either situation, pieces of metal could have impaled anyone standing nearby.
