Hurt, no treatment Made May 23, 2012, sent to the company Jun 1, 2012, published by CPSC Jun 15, 2012
The product, in the report: Arien’s ST622 Wheeled Trimmer
Handle and clutch design is extremely dangerous. A cap nut is used on the bail clutch control, which has very sharp edges. It is easy to pinch your hand between the bail clutch lever and handlebar when engaging the clutch. I got a deep cut on my knuckle through my work gloves the first time I used it. Had I not been wearing gloves, this would have cut to the bone, requiring stitches.
