What is this? A lawn trimmer with a steel blade that cuts grass. The blade is held on by small metal pins called rivets.

What's happening? The rivets might break. Then the blade could fly off while you are using the trimmer and hurt you.

Does this affect me? If you use this trimmer in Denmark, you could be hurt by the blade.

What should I do? Stop using the trimmer right away. Ask a repair shop or your local store for advice. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are hurt.
