Description
The recalled cordless electric lawn mowers have an orange deck and a charcoal black motor cover. The reconditioned lawn mowers have the model number CMM1000R and date codes between 0043 M.N.D.C. and 0121 M.N.D.C., both of which are located on a silver and black label on the rear door of the mower. The lawn mower has the words "Black & Decker" and "Cordless" on top of the motor cover. Lawn mowers sold at locations other than Black & Decker factory stores are not included in this recall.

Remedy
Consumers should stop using these lawn mowers immediately and take them to a Black & Decker service center for a free repair.
