Lawnmower safety plan adds cost to mowers
Consumers Union says new safety proposals would raise prices by about 40 dollars for the cheapest mowers and 112 dollars for riding models, increasing overall mower costs by 270 to 380 million dollars the first year. The standard could prevent about 120000 injuries annually after eight years, with substantial savings. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has not yet approved the package.
