CPSC campaign 04121
Hazard
The muffler's retaining bolts can allow the muffler to come loose from the engine while the hedge trimmer is in operation. A loose muffler can contact and damage the fuel tank, creating a fire hazard.
Remedy
Stop using these hedge trimmers and return them to an authorized Shindaiwa dealer to have the muffler bolts replaced, free of charge.
