The product, in the report: Electric Leaf Blower Vacuum This item appears to be an import exclusive for Harbor Freight.
The consumer indicates that a couple of times now his wife has received shocks when she turns on their leaf blower. The consumer’s wife turns the unit off when this happens so they are not aware of the shocks are persistent while the leaf blower is in use.
The consumer notes that they have tried various cords on the unit but it does not fix the problem.
The consumer states that his wife uses the leaf blower approximately once a month for thirty minutes each time; the unit has been used two to three times successfully. The unit has no wear and tear damage.
The consumer plans on keeping his unit for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.
