Log splitters and cylinder kits recalled due to physical hazard

The recalled log splitter’s hydraulic cylinder rod can separate from the piston, preventing the wedge from retracting. Re-engaging the rod to the piston can cause the rod and wedge to move forward at an unexpected increased speed, posing injury hazards. Consumers should not attempt to fix the recalled product themselves. As of April 18, 2024, the company has received two reports of incidents in Canada, and no reports of injury. In the United States, the company has received five reports of incidents and no reports of injury.
