Lawn mowers cause injury to more than 75,000 Americans every year, with children under the age of 15 making up a large portion of injury victims. Manufacturers have a duty to account for the likelihood that a child might be present while a lawn mower is in use and include a higher degree of product safety in the design. In this respect, lawn mower injury cases are similar to defective children's product or dangerous toy injury cases.

User error can play a part in lawn mower injuries. When there is a defective lawn mower design at the root of the injury, the manufacturers should be held accountable. Examples of questionable product safety design that may lead to a lawn mower injury include:

• Rider mowers that lack a safety feature preventing the blade from rotating when the mower backs up. An operator who backs up the mower while the blades are turning may run over a child, leading to potential severe injury.
• Zero turn radius lawn mowers often lack sufficient warning of their elevated risk of rollover if the operator attempts to turn sharply at too great a speed.
• Fuel lines and other components within the fuel system may crack or dislodge, leading to an engine fire or explosion.
• Improperly secured or manufactured blades may have sections that break off during operation, creating a sharp metal projectile that may injure a bystander or the operator. This has led to recalls in the past.
