Hitachi Koki is recalling 12 models of gasoline-powered grass trimmers because they can overheat, causing fire or burn hazards. This affects consumers who own these trimmers and could lead to serious injuries if not addressed.
The grass trimmers can overheat during normal use, which may lead to fire or burns. This happens because the trimmers are gasoline-powered and lack proper heat dissipation mechanisms.
Owners of Hitachi Koki or Tanaka-brand grass trimmers with specific model numbers and serial numbers starting with J, P, or a number are affected. People using these trimmers for lawn maintenance are most at risk.
Check for a green engine cover (Hitachi) or orange cover (Tanaka) on the trimmer. Look for model numbers listed in the recall and serial numbers starting with J, P, or a number on the circular plate.
Immediately stop using the recalled grass trimmers to prevent fire or burn injuries.
