Home Depot, Lowe's and other home improvement and hardware stores nationwide and online from May 2025 through February 2026 for between $600 and $1,300. · April 16, 2026
Reason for Recall
When first filling the recalled generator with gasoline, fuel can leak from the carburetor, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire or burn hazard. Consumers with generators that have previously been filled with enough gasoline to move the gauge off "E," or have been used without any gasoline leakage, can continue to be used.
