What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Walk-Behind Leaf Vacuums and Tow-Behind Leaf Vacuums?
Walk-Behind Leaf Vacuums and Tow-Behind Leaf Vacuums (Generac Power Systems Inc., of Waukesha, Wisconsin) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. Pieces from the recalled leaf vacuums can come loose inside the unit, or debris can pierce the chute, resulting in material ejecting and posing a laceration hazard to users and bystanders. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled leaf vacuums and contact DR Power for a free repair kit that includes a metal outer shield to be bolted onto the existing chute of the recalled leaf vacuums and installation instructions. Consumers can contact DR Power for information and assistance on making the repair. Consumers who responded to the original recall should nevertheless contact DR Power for the new remedy. Sold at: Independent power equipment stores nationwide and online at drpower.com from September 2014 through June 2025 for between $1,300 and $4,000.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 60,250 (In addition, about 1,023 were sold in Canada) DR Power Equipment previously recalled 57,200 leaf blowers and vacuums in May 2024. New models of leaf vacuums have been added to this recall units of Walk-Behind Leaf Vacuums and Tow-Behind Leaf Vacuums are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
