Excel Industries Recalls Accessory LED Light Kits Due to Risk of Serious Injury from Fire Hazard

This recall involves an accessory LED Light Kit containing two LED Light Bars and kit components. These accessory products are used on Hustler or BigDog ride-on mowers as an accessory light at the front of the mower. A black or yellow steel mounting bracket attaches to the mower footrest at the front of the mower and holds two LED Light Bars as headlights. The LED Light Bars are clear plastic with a white and a black wire and an orange plug at the end. They measure 6 inches wide and ¾ of an inch tall.

Required Consumer Action

Consumers should stop using the accessory LED Light Kits immediately and contact their point-of-sale dealers to receive a refund upon return of the light kit. Light kits installed on mowers can be removed either at the local dealer or at the consumer’s residence.
