More than Two Million Gas Powered Tools Recalled

Major manufacturer recalls yard trimmers, edgers and backpack blowers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of 2.3 million gas-powered STIHL products.

The announcement notes that the level of ethanol and other fuel additives can distort the shape of fuel cap, allowing fuel to spill, posing a fire and burn hazard.

The products recalled are: Gas powered STIHL trimmers, brushcutters, KombiMotors, hedge trimmers, edgers, clearing saws, pole pruners, and backpack blowers that utilize a tool-less fuel cap.
