There is a recall involving the EGO Power+ Cordless Brushless Hedge Trimmers due to potential laceration hazard.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled hedge trimmer and contact Chervon North America for a free repair.

The hedge trimmers have a gray, black and green housing, yellow, 24-inch (61 cm) dual-action steel blade, a black loop handle with a green switch trigger in front of the product housing, and rear switch trigger underneath the rear handle. The EGO logo is displayed on one side of the product housing, and the model number and manufacturing date code are displayed on the opposite side.

The hedge trimmers are powered by a removable battery and were sold as a bare tool with no battery, or in a combination kit. There have been three reports of incidents in Canada and one report of laceration when the rear switch trigger failed to rebound after being pressed which can cause the unit to activate unexpectedly. In the United States, the company has received 26 reports of incidents and eight reports of lacerations.
