Yazoo is no longer in the mower business.
Repairs are no longer available.
These lawn mowers are not equipped with a blade control device that stops the blade within three seconds after release of the controls as required for consumer mowers by the CPSC Safety Standard for Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers. As a result, consumers may be injured from contact with the rotating mower blade. Although the lawn mowers were intended for sale to commercial operators, Yazoo and the CPSC are concerned that a number of mowers have been purchased by consumers. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any consumer injuries resulting from the lack of a blade control device on these mowers. Yazoo is no longer manufacturing any high wheel lawn mowers without a three-second blade stopping mechanism.
