Wheelbarrows sold under the brand names "Easy Roller," "Homeowner," "Mustang," or "Thoroughbred"
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The plastic wheel assemblies on certain wheelbarrows can break when tires are being inflated, causing plastic pieces to explode from the wheel rims and potentially striking nearby people and causing cuts or other injuries. The affected wheelbarrows have black plastic rims with approximately 14-inch diameter wheels and red, green, or orange tubs or trays. They were sold under the brand names "Easy Roller," "Homeowner," "Mustang," or "Thoroughbred," which appear on labels attached to the tray. Wheelbarrows with metal wheel assemblies, "True Temper" branded wheelbarrows, and "Jackson" wheelbarrows are not affected.
To address this hazard, consumers should not inflate the tires on recalled wheelbarrows. Ames True Temper is offering a free replacement steel wheel assembly for each affected wheelbarrow, along with a free gardening tool gift as an incentive to have the repair completed.
