The product, in the report: Battery powered Backpack sprayer
On Wednesday July 9th I purchased a Hudson backpack sprayer Model 13854. I came home read the instructions and connected the charger as instructed. On Thursday morning July 10th I prepared to use the sprayer. The light on the charger was green and I disconnected it. I moved the sprayer outside to fill it . Before filling it I decided to turn it on to make sure it worked. I pushed the on switch and it exploded. I called the 800 number and found that the person I talked to had no sense of urgency after I explained that the sprayer had exploded. I was told to take pictures and return it and it would be replaced. I stated I did not want it. I was told to return it to the store I purchased it [REDACTED]I did and I received a refund. I was a GM trainer for twenty years and a Heavy Duty truck instructor for ten years before retiring. I believe that the sealed battery leaked Hydrogen gas while charging and an arc from the switch or wiring set off the explosion. I believe this product poses a risk that needs to be researched. What I do not understand is the lack of concern of the Hudson representative or the Manager for [REDACTED] when I stated the product exploded.
