This can cause tines to rotate towards the person operating the tiller and present the risk of cuts. Around 44,400 units were recalled. If you were cut or dealt with lacerations from a tiller\/cultivator, you should call the Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tillers\/cultivators in question were made in China and sold at Ace Hardware, Lowe\u2019s, Amazon.com, Blain\u2019s Farm and Fleet, and some Army &amp; Air Force Exchanges between October \u201922 \u2013 April 2024. The purchase price was $129-179. No injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled product thus far. The company has received a single report of incorrect attachment of the lower part of a cordless tiller\/cultivator. Consumers have been asked to stop using these products and call Craftsman at (855) 237-6848 between 8 a.m. and 6.pm on weekdays or visit the Craftsman recall page. The company will provide new assembly instructions. The company is also contacting those it knows bought the product to give them instructions. This recall is similar to an earlier recall in May of Walk-Behind Leaf Blowers and Vacuums and Tow-Behind Leaf Vacuums, which also posed laceration risks.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve already been injured, you may want recourse, not simply new assembly instructions. It\u2019s important to talk to our experienced product liability lawyers about your legal options. When you\u2019ve been injured by a defective product, it may be appropriate to pursue damages against the manufacturer by filing a product liability lawsuit. These lawsuits are pursued when a product is defective in terms of its manufacturing, marketing, or design. In this case, since the assembly instructions were flawed, it\u2019s possible that the court could find a marketing defect. Often defects must be proven with the assistance of expert witnesses.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/black-decker-recalls-craftsman-v20-cordless-tillers-cultivators\/#more-3301\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 30, 2024, the manufacturer Black &amp; Decker recalled its CRAFTSMAN\u00ae V20 Cordless Tillers\/Cultivators because the instructions for its assembly could result in consumers incorrectly putting in the bottom part of the tiller upside-down.
