    The product, in the report: Remington Mighty Sweep 75-Amp Electric Motor Maintenance free & environmentally friendly Single speed motor Air Velocity of 150 Mph Air volume of 180 cfm & weighs 6.5 pounds Decibels 60 db Color black

    On June 6, 2025, while using G. Remington mighty leaf blower to clear leaves from my back porch, the unit suddenly exploded after about five min of normal use. I was wearing safety glasses, but the blast caused several deep cuts on both my upper legs. My dog was also hurt very bad and terrified my 7 month old daughter who was nearby. The violent failure of this product posed an immediate danger to me and my family and could have resulted in far more serious injuries.
