ECHO is recalling gas-powered backpack blowers because the fuel supply line can leak gas, posing a fire hazard.
This recall involves two ECHO 59.7cc gas-powered backpack blowers with the model numbers PB-5810H and PB-5810T. These blowers are designed for residential and commercial use. The blowers are orange and black in color, and “ECHO” is printed on the starter recoil housing. Model and serial numbers are located on a label near the right side of the black blower fan housing. This recall includes the following serial numbers:
| Model Number | Serial Number Range |
|---|---|
| PB-5810H | P61312001001 to P61312002590 |

The blowers were sold at Golden Eagle Distributing Company, of Rocklin, California, and independent dealers nationwide from May 2024 through June 2024 for about $430.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blowers, and contact an authorized ECHO dealer (www.echo-usa.com/store-locator) to schedule an appointment to bring the ECHO gas-powered backpack blower in for free installation of a new replacement fuel line. ECHO is contacting all known purchasers directly.
