Toro Recalls Zero Turn Mowers Due to Burn Hazard
Burn
The hazard
The coolant overflow container on the recalled mowers can become over-pressurized and cause hot coolant to spray on the operator. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.
Incidents reported: The firm has received six reports of burns to operators from the hot coolant.
