Is my product affected?

Toro Power Sweep Electric Blowers

  • Brand The Toro Company, of Bloomington, Minn.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toro is recalling its Power Sweep electric blower model 51586 manufactured between 2000 and 2002 due to a hazard involving the blower's impeller, a rotating component that can break during use. When the impeller breaks, pieces of plastic can fly out of the blower, creating a risk of serious injury to the user or nearby bystanders. The recalled blowers have serial numbers ranging from 000055100 to 220255609 and can be identified by two decals on the main housing (one reading "TORO Power Sweep" and the other showing the model and serial number) and a black impeller fan visible through the air inlet screen on the bottom of the unit.

According to the recall notice, consumers who own a recalled blower should stop using it immediately and contact Toro to receive a replacement blower.
