Around 28,000 lawn mowers are being recalled due to potential fire hazards. Hongkong Sun Rise Trading is recalling Kobalt and Greenworks brands of cordless electric walk-behind lawn mowers because of the circuit board in the lawn mower can short circuit and catch fire.

Both models have a large label on the rear bag door area with a serial number, model number and date code.
