Leaf Blowers Sold at Home Depot Recalled for Laceration Hazard
What You Should Do

Consumers should stop using these blowers immediately and return them to a Home Depot store for a new blower or a full refund.
Affected Products
The recalled blower is used outside to blow, vacuum or mulch leaves. "Homelite" is printed on the top of the blower. The blower is red with a black nozzle, and weighs about 10 lbs. Model number UT08542 or UT08542A is printed on the operator's manual. Only blowers missing the black cover over the fan are included in the recall. "Homelite" and "Vac Attack II" are written on the fan cover. A bag connects to the blower to collect the leaves or mulch.
Why Was This Recalled?
The blowers are missing the doors covering the vacuum inlet. This exposes the blower's fan blade, posing a risk of finger laceration to the user.
Where Was This Sold?
Distribution information not available.
