Briggs & Stratton has issued a recall for pressure washer surface cleaners that could break and potentially cause injury.
According to the CSPC, the 3000 PSI Briggs & Stratton and Craftsman branded pressure washer surface cleaners have a faulty spray bar that could "break and detach from the central hub, causing broken pieces to strike consumers".
The recalled surface cleaners are black, red, or gray and have the Briggs & Stratton or Craftsman brand names printed on the top of the product. They were sold at Briggs & Stratton dealers, Lowe's, and other household and hardware stores nationwide from March 2010 to February 2018 for between $50 and $80.
Five incidents have been reported so far, including one injury to a consumer that required stitches.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the surface cleaners and contact Briggs & Stratton for instructions on how to register to receive a replacement.
