Fiskars is recalling two models of SmartPower propane string trimmers—the Straight Shaft Trimmer Model 67016935 and the Curved Shaft Trimmer Model 67036946—due to multiple hazards. Engine vibration during use can wear the fuel line and cause propane leaks, and the straight shaft model's propane canister can crack at the neck during operation.
