DR Power Recalls 30-Inch Walk-Behind Mowers After Blades Failed to Stop in 19 Incidents

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says DR Power Equipment is recalling about 320 walk-behind lawn mowers in the United States (plus 9 more in Canada) after the blade-control system failed to stop the blades in 19 reported incidents. No injuries have been reported to date.

What's affected

The recall covers DR Power PRO MAX30 30-inch walk-behind power lawn mowers, sold under model numbers WM25030DEN, WM25030DMN, and WM25030DMNR. According to the CPSC, the mowers were manufactured by Generac Power Systems Inc. of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and distributed by DR Power Equipment of South Burlington, Vermont.

The hazard

The CPSC's recall notice, published August 6, 2026 (recall number 26-648), says 'the blades can operate without the blade control system engaged, or continue to operate even after the release of the control,' creating a serious laceration hazard. The agency and DR Power say they have received 19 reports of the blade-control failure.
