Reported risk: If the mower handle is collapsed for storage, the starting cable can be stretched to a point in which the starting mechanism will be engaged and the mower can start without the key in place, posing a risk of injury to the user. Great States Corporation has received three incident reports in Canada, in which one report documented the amputation of three finger tips. Health Canada has not received any consumer reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these mowers.
