The CPSC and Makita USA Inc. now recall Makita Cordless Hedge Trimmers.  The teal-colored blade guard on these hedge trimmers is missing creating laceration hazards for users.  About 2600 of these hedge trimmers were sold in the US at home improvement stores, hardware stores and other independent outdoor power equipment stores nationwide and online at HomeDepot.com and Amazon.com.  If you bought one of these hedge trimmers, stop using it and contact Makita at 1-800-462-5482 to arrange for a free repair.  The company will provide you with a prepaid shipping label to return your trimmer to their repair station.
