Homelite recalls electric blower vacuums with specific model/serial numbers due to laceration risk from objects breaking through plastic housing during use. Consumers must stop using and get a refund.
Objects that are drawn into the unit during vacuum mode can break through the plastic housing, posing a laceration hazard.
Homelite is recalling electric blower vacuums that can cause lacerations if objects get drawn into the unit during vacuum mode. This affects units sold exclusively at Home Depot with specific model and serial numbers.
During vacuum mode, objects can be drawn into the unit and break through the plastic housing, causing cuts or lacerations. This happens because the housing isn't strong enough to handle the force of objects being pulled in.
Home Depot customers who purchased Homelite electric blower vacuums with model UT42120 (serial numbers BMP3540001 to BMR2103100) or UT42120A (serial numbers BMR2120001 to BMR3421250) are affected. Users with these models are at risk of lacerations.
Check the label on the left side of the red motor housing for model and serial numbers. The blower vacuums are red and black with 'Homelite BlowerVac 2 Speed Powerful 220 MPH' printed on the motor housing and black plastic blower tube.
Immediately stop using the recalled blower vacuums as they pose a laceration hazard.
