LawnBott Lawn Mowers
Product description
This recall involves LawnBott lawn mowers with model numbers LB2000, LB2100, LB3000, and LB3200.
The robotic lawn mowers freely and automatically cut grass by detecting the signal of a perimeter cable.
The mowers have a docking station for recharging and a shiny plastic cover sold in red, green or blue. "Evolution" or "Deluxe" is printed on the side of the mower.
Hazard identified
The cutting blades continue to rotate when the mower is lifted from the ground and the spacing on the side of the lawn mower could allow room for a consumers foot to go beyond the shield and be struck by the blade.
Both instances pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers.
Number sold
Approximately 50 units were sold in Canada.
Time period sold
Sold from January 2006 through December 2007.
