Electric leaf blower recalled in Canada due to ‘laceration hazard’

If you purchased a Radley electric leaf blower in the last four years, it’s likely included in a recent recall from Health Canada.

The April 16 recall is for nearly 10,000 of the leaf blowers sold between December 2021 and March 2025.

“The affected leaf blowers were constructed with a design flaw which resulted in a possible impeller rupture, posing a laceration hazard,” Health Canada explains.
