What is the hazard with DR Power Equipment Pilot and Premier Trimmer Mowers?
DR Power Equipment Pilot and Premier Trimmer Mowers was announced in the last month, in the "Lawn Mowers, Not Specified" category.

This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
