Garden Product Recall: Troy-Bilt String Trimmer

by Susan Walsh

Good Morning!
Today I’d like to share with you an important safety notice:

Troy Built is recalling their 4 Cycle Gasoline String Trimmers, model numbers TB425CS and TB525CST. The blade that trims the excess string can detach from the plastic shield covering the trimmer head and be thrown forward, causing serious injury to the user and/or any bystanders. These were sold at Lowes from January to March of 2006. If you have one, stop using it immediately and contact Troy-Built for a free repair kit. Be careful out there!
