OHIO LAWYER FOR DEFECTIVE LAWN & GARDEN EQUIPMENT

Fighting for People Injured by Dangerous Lawn and Garden Equipment

You would be hard pressed to find any Ohio homeowner who doesn’t have a diverse collection of lawn and garden upkeep tools. Most of these tools are inherently dangerous to some degree since they are often designed for cutting or digging.

The vast majority of homeowners know how to use these tools properly. If they didn’t, we would be constantly hearing news stories about people losing limbs or digits while mowing the lawn or trimming trees.



When injuries do occur, it’s frequently not the result of purchaser misuse. Instead, injuries happen because of the failure of lawn and garden equipment safety devices or components.

Common Defective Lawn and Garden Equipment

• Push mowers and riding lawnmowers
• Trimmers / weed whackers
• Powered and unpowered saws
• Chainsaws
• Extension cords
• Leaf blowers
• Various trimming tools and cutters
• Shovels, trowels and other sharp gardening implements

Lawnmowers and Weed Whackers Aren’t the Only Dangerous Products in Your Backyard

Many families also have barbeque grills, fire-starting gels and fuels, fire pits, heaters, and smokers in their backyards. These cooking, comfort and ambiance-enhancing consumer products are often powered by propane or connected to natural gas lines.



A variety of defects can potentially lead to leaks or, in the case of electric-powered heaters, electrocutions. Poor instructions may also result in avoidable, often catastrophic injuries. Adults and children may suffer serious burns and life-long scarring due to these defective products.
