Snowed in residents may want to be sure to clear the driveways using something other than Sno-Trek snow blowers being recalled for laceration risks.
Sno-Trek announced last week the recall of 1,500 Sno-Trek snow blowers in the U.S. and 300 snow blowers in Canada because of a missing safety shield above the side mounted electric starter, which poses a laceration hazard to consumer’s fingers, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada.
“The recalled snow blowers have a LCT StormForce engine with ‘Sno-Tek’ printed across a metal handlebar plate. Snow blowers with model numbers 920402 and 920403 and UPC codes 5105803094 and 5105803095 are included in this recall. Only snow blowers with engine model number PW1HK18650781DE-ABGOQUVE1M with serial numbers ranging from 1065H04008325A through 1065H04012104A are affected by this recall. The product model number and UPC codes are printed on a label attached to the outside of the gear box near the left wheel,” reported the CPSC press release .
