    Made Oct 20, 2021, sent to the company Oct 22, 2021, published by CPSC Nov 5, 2021

    The product, in the report: Fiskars Pruners. Product Article Number 391091-1008. Metal Pruners with a black and orange slide on grip. It’s made to be hand-held and prune limbs.

    Fiskars pruners. Purchased 2021 from Lowes. Product fall apart. You can’t use these pruners efficiently because the ‘non-slip’ (they point this out on their site) grips ironically slide right down and off of the handle. You have to stop what you are doing and slide it back on. Not a good product, and potentially a safety hazard. If the grip falls off, or slips down, you could cut a finger off, or cut yourself. Yesterday when it slipped, I ended up losing grip while cutting a limb and it’s handle pinched the palm of my hand leaving a cut. This is the 2nd pair I have purchased in the last 20 years probably, I threw out the first pair after struggling with it’s handle falling off as well but I attributed it to being old. This new pair does the exact same thing. On their website, it reads, ‘This reliable pruner is ideal for a variety of general pruning tasks. A fully hardened, precision-ground steel blade stays sharp longer, and a rust-resistant, low-friction coating makes cutting easier. A self-cleaning sap groove keeps the blades from sticking, and the handle includes non-slip grips. All-steel construction provides long-lasting durability.’

  4. No one hurt

    Made Apr 3, 2021, sent to the company Apr 9, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 30, 2021

    The product, in the report: Fiskars 12’ Nyglass Tree Pruner, gray poll

    when I using a Fiskars tree pruner purchased at Walmart pruning an apple tree, both of the wing nuts that would hold the saw blade came loose and fell off. If I had the saw blade attached it may have fallen off and could have hurt someone. the bolt that was being held by the wing nut also came loose and the blade that is held in place by said bolt fell out of its slot (it is attached to a rope so it did not fall) and the ball barring that goes between the blade and the spring was sprung out of its track an flew off.

  5. First aid

    Made Oct 20, 2020, sent to the company Nov 24, 2020, published by CPSC Dec 9, 2020

    The product, in the report: Fiskars® 32-Inch Bypass Lopper Shears

    Fiskars® 32-Inch Bypass Lopper Shears injury: I was cutting a branch about 1 3/4 inches thick. Handle snapped where metal handle joins the plastic ratchet for the lopper blade. The handle broke with such force that the broken handle recoiled and hit me in the forehead resulting in a bump and small laceration.

    I noticed this product had a recall in 2014. I think I may have purchased the product around that time. I’ve had them for years.

    The product, in the report: FISKARS 32”Powergear Bypass Lopper

    I was using my Loppers when all of a sudden the handle breaks off causing me to fall over into a tangle of thorns and brush. I went online to look for a replacement pair and saw where there was a recall on this product.
