Garden power tool sets
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Atika garden power tool sets containing a BAE 30 engine-driven drive unit pose a fire hazard. The screws that fasten the exhaust system can loosen during use, causing hot exhaust gases to escape between the cylinder and exhaust flange. This can cause the surrounding housing to overheat and catch fire, potentially resulting in burns to the user. Accidents related to this defect have already been reported, and the products do not comply with the Machinery Directive.
The affected models include the BFH 30 (Item No. 302371), BHH 30 (Item No. 302349), and BGHH 30, along with other models that consist of a BAE 30 engine unit paired with various tool attachments such as brush cutters, power pruners, hedge trimmers, and grass trimmers. The recall was issued by an economic operator, though the exact enforcement date is unknown. The source does not specify what remedy is available to consumers or what steps they should take.
