Emergency room Made Apr 18, 2022, sent to the company Apr 21, 2022, published by CPSC May 5, 2022
The product, in the report: DR Power Walk Behind Lawn Vacuum Pro-SP model WL35008DEV. Large, orange, self propelled, gas powered lawn leaf vacuum with chipper capabilities. The parts that came apart were one of the leaf shredder blades which exited the machine and the flywheel that creates vacuum was cracked almost in half.
I was starting up my DR Power Walk Behind Lawn Vacuum Pro-SP. The flywheel has 5 leaf shredder blades welded to the flywheel. I was not even using the machine at the time, only starting it up. One of the blades came loose, came through the plastic cover on top of the machine, almost severed my left thumb, then impacted my chest. Damage to the thumb was extensive. The second joint was separated, at least one tendon was severed and reattached, one ligament was still attached to a severed piece of bone and re attached, one nerve was severed, there were several bone fragments, The second joint is current pinned while the bones heal. The impact to the chest resulted in two cracks in the sternum, internal bleeding behind the sternum, and a bruised lung. I spent two days in two different trauma centers. While the leaf shredder blade was the only piece to exit the machine and hit me, the flywheel, which is still inside the vacuum chamber, is almost torn in half across the middle. Without further examination, it appears to be a result of bad welds between the shredder blades and the flywheel.
