Hazard:
The hedge trimmer blade can unexpectedly activate after pressing just the safety or trigger control individually rather than engaging the safety and trigger controls simultaneously, posing a laceration hazard.
Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled RYOBI 40V 24-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmers and visit https://www.ryobitools.com/recall to determine if their trimmer is included in the recall. The recalled trimmer must be returned to TTI Outdoor Power Equipment (TTIOPE), in order to receive a free replacement trimmer (pre-paid label will be provided). Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required. TTIOPE is contacting all known purchasers.
Units:
About 113,000 (In addition, about 15,000 were sold in Canada)
