WASHINGTON — The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday that Black & Decker agreed to pay a $960,000 civil penalty to settle allegations it knowingly failed to report some safety problems with its Grasshog XP Weed Trimmer/Edger.
In agreeing with the settlement, Black & Decker denies CPSC allegations that it knowingly violated the law. The CPSC says Black & Decker knew on or before May 2006 that its electric Grasshog XP GH1000, a hedge trimmer and edger that it started selling in November 2005, was defective and could injure people.
