Husqvarna Defective Grass Trimmer Class Action Settlement

Consumers who purchased a Husqvarna gas-powered grass string trimmer with model numbers 130C, 130L or 330LK on or before Nov. 13, 2023, may be eligible to claim a $45 voucher from a class action settlement.

Husqvarna Professional Products Inc. agreed to pay up to $550,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging certain gas-powered grass string trimmers sold between October 2021 and November 2023 were defective and could pose a fire hazard. Husqvarna recalled the trimmers in February 2024.

Who is eligible to file a claim?

Class members must meet all of the following criteria:

• They purchased a Husqvarna gas-powered grass string trimmer with one of these model numbers:
• 130C (SKU # 970514301, 970514302, 970514303, 970694601 or 970694701)
• 130L (SKU # 970514401, 970514402, 970514403, 970694801 or 970694901)
• 330LK (SKU # 970514501, 970514502, 970514503, 970514504 or 970545001)

• They brought or will bring their trimmer to an authorized Husqvarna dealer for a free recall repair between Oct. 3, 2025, and Jan. 2, 2026.

Why is there a class action settlement?

The class action lawsuit alleged certain Husqvarna gas-powered grass string trimmers were defective and could pose a fire hazard due to electrical sparks or arcing, especially if gasoline was present.

Although Husqvarna denied any wrongdoing, the company agreed to settle the lawsuit to resolve the claims and provide benefits to affected customers. The parties reached the settlement after Husqvarna conducted a recall in cooperation with the the Consumer Product Safety Commission, but the plaintiffs argued the recall remedy was insufficient.
