Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240528-67205-2147338958. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Ryobi RY401015US. Incident: As I was mowing my yard this past weekend, the mower suddenly ceased operation and began emitting smoke after approximately 10 minutes of use. Curious as to what was causing the issue, I opened the top where the batteries are housed and discovered a small fire behind them. Acting fast, I removed the safety pin and pulled out the batteries, extinguishing the flames without anyone being harmed. I am now collaborating with RYOBI to investigate the root cause of this alarming incident.
