The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is responsible in the United States for protecting consumers against “unreasonable risk of injuries” related to the use of products sold in the country.
In this regard, through its official website, it announced the recall of riding lawn mowers due to the risk of fire.
The official statement explains that these machines were sold by Ace, TSC, Bomgaars, and other U.S. stores from November 2022 to July 2026, and instructions were provided for consumers who bought them.
