On September 4th, 2019, John Deere, the famous tractor and farm equipment company, issued a recall for its Frontier grooming mowers. Roughly 730 of the units were recalled due to a design fact involving safety shield, which may stop spinning with the blades even if the blades continue. There is a risk of entanglement and other injuries. The tractors are primarily used to keep grass and such tidy. The recalled products have the model numbers FM3012, GM1060, GM1072, GM1084, GM1190, GM3060, and GM3072. The mowers are primarily green and come in many varieties. They were manufactured in the U.S. by John Deere for Frontier, which is a brand name of the company. They were sold at various John Deere dealerships and stores from April 2018 to May 2019 for anywhere between $3,100 and $16,700 depending on the model. To date, there have been no entanglement issues reported and no injuries reported. The company suggests that all consumers refrain from using the mowers and call their nearest John Deere dealership to schedule a free repair. The company is also making phone calls to the consumers who purchased the product directly.

What kind of injuries can happen from defective Frontier grooming mowers?

John Deere Frontier grooming mowers are attached to tractors and are not meant to be used as standalone products. Once they are attached to the hitch of a tractor, they are pulled behind and used to trim, cut, and mow fields and grass. They are usually used for large expanses and not for homes, yards, or gardens. The problem with the Frontier mowers is that the protective shields that conceal the blades do not spin with the blades. They spin independently and can randomly stop. If the blades continue to spin when the shield is immobile, there can be various injuries sustained by anyone nearby who reaches for the mower to detach it or adjust it. Injuries include:

• Miembros y dedos amputados
• Músculos desgarrados
• Daño nervioso
• Cuts and lacerations
• Abrasions and strains
• Daño muscular
• Blood loss
• Daños en órganos internos
• Parálisis
• Muerte

These injuries can be severe, especially if you are unable to reach a phone in time or if you are in a remote location. Some individuals may not be close to any emergency services, and it could take a long time for an ambulance to arrive. If you were hurt because of a defective Frontier mower, you should sue for total coverage stemming from the incident.
