Caution urged for power mower safety in homes
Combined Insurance safety experts warn power lawnmowers can be dangerous if defective or misused. They estimate 50 million mowers in 1978 with 165000 injured, 60000 plus in ER, 4000 losing fingers or toes, and 1000 losing an eye. A mower safety checklist covers maintenance, fuel safety, footwear, area clearing, daylight mowing, and cautions against children, slopes, and refueling hazards.
