Chervon recalls EGO Power+ Cordless Brushless Hedge Trimmers due to laceration hazard
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that Chervon North America has recalled EGO Power+ Cordless Brushless Hedge Trimmers due to a laceration hazard.
The recall involves EGO Power+ Model HT2410 Cordless Brushless Hedge Trimmers that were manufactured prior to March 30, 2019. The rear switch trigger can fail to rebound after being pressed, which can cause the unit to activate unexpectedly, posing a laceration hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hedge trimmers and contact Chervon for a free repair of the rear trigger switch, states the CPSC.
The hedge trimmers have a gray, black and green housing, yellow, 24-inch dual-action steel blade, a black loop handle with a green switch trigger in front of the product housing, and rear switch trigger underneath the rear handle. The EGO logo is displayed on one side of the product housing, and the model number HT2410 and manufacturing date code are displayed on the opposite side. Only units with date codes from September 2017 through March 2019 are included in this recall.
The recall involves approximately 85,000 hedge trimmers in the United States (in addition, 4,000 in Canada). The units were sold at various home improvement stores, hardware stores and authorized dealers and distributors nationwide and online at Acehardware.com, Acmetools.com and Homedepot.com from September 2017 through March 2020.
