DR Leaf Vacuum Recall
In January 2026, DR Power announced a recall for more than 60,250 Walk-Behind and Tow-Behind Leaf Vacuums because debris can pierce the chute and eject material, which poses an injury risk.
What is the Problem?
As of January 2026, there were 46 reports of loose pieces being ejected from DR Leaf Vacuums. No injuries were reported, but the problem poses a risk of lacerations (cuts). According to the recall:
“Pieces from the recalled leaf vacuums can come loose inside the unit, or debris can pierce the chute, resulting in material ejecting and posing a laceration hazard to users and bystanders.”
Original Recall for DR Power Leaf Vacuums
The recall announced on January 8, 2026 involved about 60,250 leaf vacuums (plus about 1,023 leaf vacuums that were sold in Canada).
The original recall was announced on May 2, 204, for about 57,200 tow-behind and walk-behind leaf blowers and leaf vacuums. The recall warned:
“Pieces from the recalled leaf blowers and vacuums can come loose inside the unit and be ejected, posing a laceration hazard to users and bystanders.”
At the time of the original recall, there were 22 reports of loose pieces being ejected from the units. No injuries were reported.
How To Identify Recalls Leaf Vacuums
The recall involves DR Power Equipment walk-behind and tow-behind leaf vacuums that were sold nationwide between September 2014 through June 2025 for between $1,300 and $4,000.
The affected models of leaf vacuums include:
- Walk-Behind WL3
