Seems to be the 900,000 Toro blowers
The Toro Company Reannounces Recall of Electric Blowers Due to Projectile Hazards
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Toro Company, of Bloomington, Minn., is voluntarily reannouncing the recall of about 900,000 Toro Power Sweep Electric Blowers. The blower�s impeller, which is a rotating component on the blower, can break, resulting in pieces of plastic flying out of the blower. This poses a risk of serious injury to the user or a bystander.
