Wisconsin-based Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group is recalling about 2,100 lawn mowers because the fuel tanks may leak, creating a fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The recall affects the following Murray front engine lawnmowers:
- Model 7800162, serial numbers 2012852329 through 2012852578; 2013004655 through 2013005154; 2013071338 through 2013071546.
- Model 7800191, serial numbers 2012886982 through 2012887081; 2012887082 through 2012887231; 2013035588 through 2013035671.
- Model 7800192, serial numbers 2012887399 through 2012887548; 2012887549 through 2012887648; 2012978024 through 2012978024; 2013046581 through 2013047179.
The company has learned of two fuel leaks. No injuries or incidents were reported.
U.S. retailers sold the lawn mowers, which were made in the U.S., from April 2008 through September 2008 for about $950 US.
Consumers should stop using the mowers and contact the dealer for a repair.
