Shivvers Manufacturing Recalls Lawn Mower Jacks Due to Collapse Hazard
The hazard
The jack lifts can have threads stripping or the nuts breaking, resulting in the shaft slipping and the mower falling from its stand-up position. This could cause serious personal injury to the consumer or property damage.
Incidents reported: Shivvers has received five reports of jack lift failures and 37 warranty claims for replacement parts.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jacks and contact their local service dealer to have their jacks replaced at no charge.
Contact: For additional information, contact your local dealer or Country Clipper at (800) 344-8237 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.countryclipper.com
