What is the hazard with Product Recall: Flymo SimpliTrim 230 AC Trimmer and Flymo SimpliTrim 230 Plus AC Trimmer (2610-0026)?

Product Recall: Flymo SimpliTrim 230 AC Trimmer and Flymo SimpliTrim 230 Plus AC Trimmer (2610-0026) (Flymo) was announced in the last month, in the "Machinery - Lawn Powers/Rakers (Powered)" category. The product presents a risk of injuries because the spool cover on affected units may break and be ejected at high speed during operation. This poses a risk of physical injury to the user and bystanders. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
