Power tools are intended to make yard work safer and easier—not cause serious injuries. Unfortunately, defective and recalled products continue to injure consumers. One such product is the RYOBI 40-Volt 24-Inch Cordless Trimmer, which has been recalled due to safety concerns. If you or a loved one was injured while using one of these recalled trimmers, you may have the right to pursue a product liability claim.
The product liability lawyers at Shoop | A Professional Law Corporation represent individuals harmed by dangerous and defective consumer products, including recalled power tools.
Why Were RYOBI 40-Volt 24-Inch Trimmers Recalled?
RYOBI issued a recall after reports that certain 40-Volt 24-Inch Cordless Trimmers posed a serious safety hazard. According to consumer safety reports, the recalled trimmers may unexpectedly start, fail to shut off properly, or cause blade-related injuries, creating a significant risk of harm to users.
Product recalls typically occur only after manufacturers or regulators determine that a product poses an unreasonable danger. If you were injured before or after the recall was announced, that does not prevent you from seeking compensation.
Common Injuries Associated with Defective Trimmers
Defective lawn and garden equipment can cause devastating injuries, including:
- Deep lacerations and cuts
- Hand, finger, or toe amputations
- Eye and facial injuries from flying debris
- Electrical shock or burn injuries
- Permanent nerve damage
- Scarring and disfigurement
In many cases, victims were using the trimmer exactly as intended when the injury occurred.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Under California product liability law, injured consumers do not need to prove negligence. Instead, manufacturers and sellers may be held strictly liable if a product is:
- Defectively designed
- Defectively manufactured
- Sold without adequate warnings or instructions
Potentially liable parties may include:
- The manufacturer (RYOBI or its parent company)
- Distributors or wholesalers
- Retailers that sold the defective trimmer
Even if the product was recalled, liability may still attach if the defect caused your injury.

If you were injured by a recalled RYOBI trimmer, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and future treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
