Generac Portable Generators Are A Danger To Your Fingers
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/mepxRv-lF70
The CPSC and Generac Power Systems are recalling Generac, HomeLink, and DR 6500 Watt and 8000 Watt portable generators. The handles on these units can pinch fingers against the generator frame causing finger crushes and amputations. About 321,160 of these generators were sold in the US and about 4575 were sold in Canada at major home improvement and hardware stores nationwide and online, including Ace Hardware, Amazon, Blain’s Farm & Fleet, City Electric Supply, Costco, Do it Best, Fastenal, Home Depot, Lowe’s Stores, Napa Auto Parts, Northern Tool & Equipment, Orgill, Power Equipment Direct, Ravitsky Bros., True Value, and W.W. Grainger. If you purchased one of these generators from July, 2021 to November, 2022, contact Generac at 1-844-242-3493 to check if your unit is recalled. If so, make sure you insert a handle locking pin until you receive a free repair kit to position the handle away from the frame.
