The lithium-ion batteries can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.
The recalled planter box frame can break, posing an injury hazard.
Alcohol flames can be invisible and lead to flame jetting when refilling the fire pit reservoir. Flame jetting is a serious event that can occur while pouring alcohol, when fire flashes back to the alcohol container and suddenly propels burning alcohol out of the container and onto people nearby.
Alcohol can also splash, spill or leak out of the fire pit reservoir during use, causing a flash fire that can spread and create larger hotter flames, that can escape the unit.
Use of the recalled fire pits can lead to injury quickly and unexpectedly, causing burns in less than one second, that can be serious and deadly.
The flashlights can overheat and melt the outer casing, posing fire and burn hazards.
The front bell crank in the brake linkage can fail causing the tractor to lose braking, resulting in a crash hazard.
If water gets into the mower’s handle support while the battery is installed, the mower can fail to shut off when the bail handle is released or start without a key, posing a laceration hazard to the user.
