The suggested remedy for consumers is to stop using the recalled mowers if the mower has gotten wet and contact DeWalt to receive a free repair at an authorized service center nearby.
The firm has received 10 reports of mowers failing to shut off when the bail handle is released and one report of a mower starting without a key inserted. The incident in which a mower started without a key inserted resulted in a finger laceration for which no medical attention was required.
