CPSC warned that an unlocked handle can pinch consumers’ fingers against the generator frame when the generator is moved, posing finger amputation and crushing hazards.

The company has received a total of 37 reports of injuries, 24 resulting in finger amputations and five in finger crushing.

The recall covers all of these generators purchased after July 29, 2021, through November 3, 2021.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
(Link shows pictures of the generator.)

Quite a few amputations.

I would never think of this risk when buying something like this.
