Cutter for lawn trimmer - Hulk -Professional Forestry Blade
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Hulk Professional Forestry Blade (Attila model ATHU001) is a steel-bladed cutter designed to replace the standard plastic thread on lawn trimmers to cut branches and bushes. The product poses a serious injury risk because the steel blades can fly off due to wear, aging, or overload, and standard consumer lawn trimmers lack guards thick or large enough to protect users from this type of heavy cutter. A fatal accident has occurred with a similar product, and the cutter does not comply with the Machinery Directive.
The manufacturer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market. The source does not specify what consumers who already own this product should do.
