Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130216-D054A-2147458747. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Toro 38515. Incident: Toro snowblower model 38515 started leaking gas from the carburator. According to the local dealer, it needs a new carburator but they are having trouble getting one because this is apparently a common issue with this particular snowblower. From what I can tell, Toro has issued recalls on this model snowblower but not our serial number (290004563) for this fuel leaking problem. The bad news is that the thing leaks even if it is not running. Almost all the gas in the tank leaked out over a weekend on non use.
