The Toro Company Recalls Electric Blowers Due to Projectile Hazards

Reported: July 26, 2007 Initiated: July 26, 2007 #07253

Product Description

The recall involves Toro Power Sweep electric blower model 51586 that was manufactured between 2000 and 2002. The electric blowers have serial numbers that range between 000055100 and 220255609. There are two decals on the main housing of the blower. One decal reads, "TORO Power Sweep" and the decal on the opposite side of the blower contains the model number and serial number. The recalled units can be identified by a black impeller fan, which can be seen through the air inlet screen on the bottom of the unit.

Reason for Recall

The blower's impeller, which is a rotating component on the blower, can break, resulting in pieces of plastic flying out of the blower. This poses a risk of serious injury to the user or a bystander.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled blowers immediately and contact Toro to receive a replacement blower.
