Leaf Blower Injury Lawyer
Does a leaf blower have to be recalled for there to be a legal case?
No. The fact that a product has not been recalled does not mean it is not defective. Unfortunately, there are likely millions of defective products on the market that have not been recalled.
Our firm has handled countless cases involving defective products which have yet to be recalled. We have made numerous successful recoveries on behalf of clients injured by these products.
Recalls Depend on Self-Reporting
Contrary to popular belief, governmental agencies are not testing every product on the market to ensure they are safe. Recalls largely depend on self-reporting from companies and consumers. For consumer products like leaf blowers, businesses only have legal obligations to report in certain circumstances which are listed here. However, many defective products have not been reported to the appropriate governmental agency.

The Recalled Blowers Can Cause Serious Laceration Injuries
Defective Leaf Blowers have been linked to many types of laceration injuries. The different types of lacerations are listed below.
Types of Lacerations:
- Cut laceration is the most common type of laceration. A cut laceration occurs when any type of sharp object (like a knife or piece of shrapnel) creates a break in the skin. The break in the skin sometimes extends into the underlying tissue.
- Over-stretching laceration occurs when part of the body is pressed between two objects moving in opposite directions. When the skin is stretched too far, it can tear or break, causing a deep laceration that exposes the skin’s underlying tissue. These lacerations usually appear on the head, face, hands, and legs.
- Grinding compression occurs when an object hits the skin with a blunt impact in either a sweeping motion or at an angle. A person’s skin is basically peeled back.
- Split lacerations occur when a body part is crushed between two objects and the skin and muscle tissue below ruptures during the crushing injury.
