What happened

Black & Decker has expanded a recall of cordless electric lawnmowers sold under both the Black & Decker and Craftsman brand names due to a fire hazard.

The recalled Black & Decker models are CMM1000 or CMM1000R labeled as Type 1 through Type 4 (found on the silver and black label on the rear door), with orange or green decks and black motor covers. Type 5 models are not included. The recalled Craftsman mowers have model number 900.370520 with all date codes and types, featuring a dark green deck with a black motor cover.

Consumers who own recalled mowers should stop using them immediately and call for information on receiving a free inspection and repair if necessary. Those who previously had their mowers repaired under the earlier recall should also have their mowers inspected and repaired again as part of this expanded recall. The source does not specify additional details about how to contact Black & Decker or Craftsman for this service.
