The lock-off device on the hedge trimmer switch may not function properly. The hedge trimmer could be turned on even if the switch is in the \"lock- off\" position. As a result, consumers could be injured if the hedge trimmer accidently starts up. Black & Decker has received no reports of injury involving the hedge trimmers. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. This program involves Black & Decker's TR135 Type 1, TR195 Type 1, and TR255 Type 1 hedge trimmers. Hedge trimmers subject to this program can be identified by looking at the second line of the product identification label on the right hand side of the hedge trimmer. If it states TR135 Type 1, TR195 Type 1, or TR255 Type 1, and was purchased in February or early March 1996, it is one of the recalled trimmers. TR135 Type 2, TR195 Type 2, and TR255 Type 2 hedge trimmers are not included in this recall. Consumers can distinguish between the recalled Type 1 trimmers and the Type 2 trimmers not involved in this recall by referring to the side product identification label. Type 2 units also have a green dot on the bottom right hand corner of the hedge trimmer carton. No other Black & Decker hedge trimmers or any other products are involved in this program. Hardware stores and home centers sold the hedge trimmers nationwide in February and early March 1996 for between $29.00 and $39.00. Consumers who own the TR135 Type 1, TR195 Type 1, or TR255 Type 1 hedge trimmers should return them to a Black & Decker company-owned service center for a free replacement hedge trimmer.

A lower than expected return rate has caused the Commission to take the unusual step of re-issuing the warning. The recall includes approximately 500,000 Black and Decker Model 82209 (Type 1 and 2) and Model 82210 (Type 1 and 2) Bump- Feed Grass/Weed String Trimmers. Due to improper assembly, the wiring in some of these units may be cut by the end of the handle tube, resulting in an electric shock hazard. This hazard can occur while the units are being operated or when they are simply plugged in but not in use. Four consumers were reportedly shocked in separate incidents in 1986 and 1987, when they grabbed the metal handle tube of their string trimmers. Though none of these incidents was fatal, the Commission staff believes that a defective trimmer would present a severe electric shock or an electrocution hazard. These Black and Decker brand string trimmers have been sold since October, 1985, by a variety of retailers for about $24.00 to $29.00. The affected trimmers can be identified by a label decal located near the top of the handle, which states \"No. 82209 Grass/Weed Trimmer, Type 1 or Type 2\" or \"No. 82210 Grass/Weed Trimmer, Type 1 or Type 2\" and \"Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., Easton, MD 21601 U.S.A.\" Also, the motor housings of the 82209 and 82210 units are labeled 9\" cut and 10\" cut, respectively.

These trimmers are being recalled because the fan and cap assembly may fracture, throwing pieces that could injure the user or bystanders. Black & Decker is aware of 102 reports of fan/cap breakage, some resulting in injuries involving lacerations and bruises to the feet and legs. The products were sold nationwide under the Black & Decker label, and also under the labels of Montgomery Ward and McCulloch Corporation.
