DR Power PRO MAX30 Lawn Mowers Recalled Over Blade Control Hazard

DR Power Equipment is recalling about 320 DR Power PRO MAX30 30-inch walk-behind power lawn mowers because the blade control system can fail, allowing the blades to keep spinning after release and posing a serious laceration hazard.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

DR Power Equipment is recalling approximately 320 units of the DR Power PRO MAX30 30-inch Deck Wide Cut Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers, model numbers WM25030DEN, WM25030DMN, and WM25030DMNR. The mowers were sold at independent power equipment stores nationwide and online at drpower.com between September 2024 and September 2025 for between $1,600 and $1,800.

The recalled mowers violate the mandatory safety standard for walk-behind power lawn mowers because the blades can operate without the blade control system engaged or continue to operate even after the release of the control. This poses a serious laceration hazard to users.

The manufacturer reported 19 incidents involving the mower blades staying engaged or not stopping after release of the blade control. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the recalled mowers immediately unless they have already received a free repair kit in the mail from DR Power and it has been installed. If the repair kit has not been installed, contact DR Power to receive updated repair instructions or schedule a free repair from an authorized dealer. Owners who have not received a repair kit should contact DR Power Equipment to receive a free repair kit or schedule a free repair from an authorized dealer.
