CPSC · 26166 · published 2026-01-08

CPSC campaign 26166

Hazard

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.

Remedy

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.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
