Reported risk: This recall involves Shindaiwa Models EB8510 and EB8510RT. All models up to serial # 7014728 are included.

These machines are black and blue with a red and black label that reads, "EB8510, Shindaiwa." Hazards: The blower's impeller (fan) can separate from the base and break apart, causing plastic pieces to be blown out of the machine, and pose a laceration and impact hazard to consumers. The flying pieces also can cause property damage and injury to bystanders.
