Home Depot And Ryobi Power Tools The Home Depot model Ryobi String Trimmer is an unsafe design. Atlanta Georgia

With years of engineering experience between the reporter and self this was not a "flaw in the one production tank" response. Give credit where due: one must not assume the writer knows not. With but one letter and one cc, the retailer responded. In fact, many BC30 units (as did mine) failed of the same cause, fuel tank rupture. After a photo session by manufucturer and outside agency (the "cc party"), these early units were QUICKLY replaced; many via delivery to the home. And we note: the replacement and ALL further units sold presented completely safe redesigned heat shielding. Pennies per piece for the manufacturer, safety for all. I will gladly pay $5.00 more for $0.90 in parts if it means being safe. Retailer was lucky on this one, any given person could have gone up in flames or spread killer pollution.

must be done by an approved shop. They need a shop to decide why exactly the tank allegedly melted. It could be something as simple as that particular tank on that particular machine had a molding defect and not this alleged design flaw that you think exists. This is one reason why the consumer does not get parts just sent to them. The shop then files a warranty and if there is a pattern of a problem (eg: them and many other shops repair the same issue on multiple machines), then it is addressed. However, one isolated incident does not make all the units dangerous. That baseless allegation is ludicrous.
