  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 12, 2022, sent to the company Oct 19, 2022, published by CPSC Nov 2, 2022

    The product, in the report: YTL CRIMSON 32 ton WOOD SPLITTER model# YTL-590-012 Serial# SP248LSP30B2W2010367

    “ Hazard: An incorrect engine ignition coil and flywheel may lead to hard starting and possibly engine kick back, a potential injury hazard to the operator.”

    I have a CRIMSON 32TON wood splitter, Model# YTL-590-012, that I purchased on 08/20/2022 at Rural King in Shelbyville Kentucky. The [REDACTED] engine, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] did the same thing described above in the recall from last year. There are obviously more engines that need to be included in the recall. $2000 IS A LOT OF MONEY to spend on a piece of equipment that is unserviceable after only using it 3 times!! I did not receive any injuries from the kickback, but the engine is completely out of service.
