• Runaway RototiOers Reported
Sears, Roebuck, and Co. has launched a new campaign to notify customers of hazards associated with some 2,000 rototillers the company sold between 1963 and 1980.
A dutch-locking mechanism can cause the tiller to back over its user, which Sears believes may have led to more than 20 injuries.
Sears and Roper Corp., manufacturer of the roto7 tiller, last year offered a free kit to eliminate the problem. Only half of all owners were aware of the campaign, however, according to a recent study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
