Hurt, no treatment Made Sep 18, 2013, sent to the company Nov 1, 2013, published by CPSC Nov 18, 2013
The product, in the report: electric (AC) powered trimmer
(8/3/13) The consumer trimmed an area that contained landscaping rocks that were 1-1/2” – 2” dia. Some of the rocks were being thrown against the consumer, while she was using the trimmer. Additionally, the trimmer kept re-threading itself during use. The consumer continued to use the trimmer, but adjusted her stance so that she was further away from the trimmer. The adjusted stance did not make a difference. Large chunks of thread were being spewed from the trimmer, but the line was not clipping itself consistently. She continued to use the trimmer and a large chunk of trimmer thread hit the consumer’s left leg twice, in succession. She received a cut on her left leg from the thread. She has 3 scars that are staggered on her leg and she does not believe that they will ever go away. She has not seen a doctor and does not plan to.
(8/5/13) The consumer called the manufacturer and shared her concerns with them. Their rep. asked the consumer what she would like and indicated that they could replace the trimmer or give her a refund. The consumer was told that a refund could take several weeks, so she opted for a replacement trimmer. The mfr. sent the consumer and identical model trimmer and she returned the older trimmer back to them, at their expense. The consumer also sent the additional spool of thread that she initially purchased to the mfr. along with the trimmer.
The consumer was later told that the manufacturer could not test the trimmer using the original spool of thread that she included. It is not known why they could not use it. The consumer noted that she has scars on both legs from where the rocks and gravel hit her.
The consumer has a firm file: [REDACTED] associated with the report that she filed with the mfr.
