Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200604-BE091-1985785. Matched catalog product: John Deere E130. Incident: The consumer was using his lawn mower for approximately forty minutes when he stored it in his garage. On his way out, the consumer pushed the unit back with his leg and received a 1� x 3.5� third-degree burn on the front of his left calf. The consumer notes that the exhaust is about five inches behind the bumper and this is why even though the lawn mower was turned off that the bumper was so hot. The next time the consumer used his lawn mower he noticed that after the unit was off, the bumper was 158 degrees Fahrenheit after using it for forty minutes.
