    The product, in the report: Pressure washer

    The consumer stated that while he was applying air to the tire of the Pressure washer, the plastic rim that held the tire exploded causing pieces to project towards his legs and hands. He received injuries to his right and left index fingers which caused lacerations. He also received numbness to his left knuckle.

    He saw his family doctor on 4/2/12 and the doctor treated his wounds.

    4/2/12 The manufacturer was contacted and he was advised that the pressure washer was recalled. He is concerned that he was never notified although the unit was registered. He experienced similar problems as the Release #07-060.
