The gasoline tank can split and leak fuel, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
Maruyama is recalling gasoline-powered backpack blowers and mister dusters because their white, translucent fuel tanks can split and leak fuel, which poses a fire hazard. If you own one of these products, you should stop using it immediately and return it for a free replacement fuel tank.
The fuel tank can split and leak gasoline, which is flammable. If the leaked fuel comes into contact with a spark or flame, it can ignite and cause a fire. This hazard is serious because gasoline leaks can happen during normal use, especially if the tank is damaged.
Owners of Maruyama gasoline-powered backpack blowers and mister dusters with white, translucent fuel tanks are affected. Anyone using these products near open flames or heat sources is at higher risk of fire.
Check for a white, translucent fuel tank on the blower or mister duster. Look for an alphanumeric code printed on the recoil starter and a serial number on a sticker attached to the back pad or printed on the fan case outlet.
Immediately stop using the recalled backpack blowers and mister dusters to prevent fire hazards.
