Plain-English summary
Shivvers Manufacturing Inc. is recalling approximately 450 Jack Lift Tools and Kits used for lifting lawn mowers during service or maintenance. The recalled jacks, which include two versions with different nut materials, were sold separately and on Charger, JAZee, and Boss riding lawn mowers.
The recall is due to a hazard where the jack's threads may strip or the nuts may break. This failure can cause the shaft to slip, resulting in the mower falling from its stand-up position. This could cause serious personal injury to the consumer or property damage. The company has received five reports of jack lift failures and 37 warranty claims for replacement parts.
The jacks were sold at Country Clippers dealers nationwide from May 2007 through June 2008 for about $150 for the jack and about $225 for the jack kits. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jacks and contact their local service dealer to have them replaced at no charge. For additional information, consumers can contact Country Clipper at (800) 344-8237 or visit www.countryclipper.com.
