According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Generac’s walk-behind leaf blowers and vacuums, and tow-behind leaf vacuums may pose a laceration hazard if pieces from the recalled units come loose inside the device and are ejected. The May 2, 2024 recall involves over 57,000 units distributed by DR Power Equipment. The blowers and vacuums were sold at independent power equipment stores nationwide and online at drpower.com from September 2014 through January 2024 for between $1,300 and $4,000.
DR is printed on the motor housing. The model number on the walk-behind leaf blower is located on the top at the back of the blower housing. The model number on the walk-behind leaf vacuum is located on the front right side of the unit behind the wheel. The model number on the tow-behind leaf vacuum is on the impeller housing beside the engine. The CPSC site provides the specific recalled model numbers.
The CPSC warns consumers to stop using these machines immediately. There have been 22 reports of loose pieces of the machinery being ejected during use.
