Fiskars recalls SmartPower string trimmers due to propane leaks, cracked canisters, and hot plastic guards causing burns, fires, and lacerations. Consumers must stop using and get refunds.
Engine vibration during use of the trimmers can cause wear on the fuel line, leading to a propane fuel leak. The Straight Shaft Trimmers' propane canister can crack at the neck during use. In addition, high temperatures may develop near the Curved Shaft Trimmers' plastic cutting guard, causing the guard to deform and fall off. These issues pose burn, fire and laceration hazards to the user.
