Toro Mowers Recalled For Fire Hazard – Virginia Defective Products
Posted on:
The Toro Co. has recalled a number of their Toro® Z Master® Riding Mowers due to a defect in the traction belt that can cause a fuel leak and subsequent fire hazard, reports PRNewswire.com.
Around 2,600 of the mowers, manufactured in Bloomington Minnesota and sold at Toro dealers across the U.S. between January 2012 and August 2012 in a price range of $7,700-$8,700, have been recalled because of a tendency for the traction drive belt to wear through the fuel tank and cause a leakage, causing a fire risk to the consumer.
There have been five reports of fuel leakages as a result of the defect products, but no reports of injuries. Consumers have been instructed to stop using the mowers immediately and contact a Toro dealer to schedule a free repair. You can reach Toro by phone at (855) 493-0090 or visit them online at www.toro.com.

01How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
02Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
03What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
04What Happens to My Lost Wages?
If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
05How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
06How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
