Hazards

The coolant overflow container on the recalled mowers can become over-pressurized and cause hot coolant to spray on the operator. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Reported injuries

The firm has received six reports of burns to operators from the hot coolant.

Remedy

Operators should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact Toro to receive a free repair kit. Toro has directly notified registered owners of this recall.
