While cutting branches the lower handle on 32" Fiskers Lopper model 6154 broke almost causing a cut on my arm

On September 25, 2016 I was using the Fiskars lopping shears to cut my mother's tree. We believe it is model number 9143. It snapped when I was cutting a branch and the metal shears flew back into my chin, causing swelling and intense bruising. We attempted to contact Fiskars directly, but only received an email saying they were processing our warranty, which is clearly not our primary concern.

Was pruning a tree with Fiskars 32” Powergear Bypass Loppers model number 6954 when the handle snapped causing me to punch myself, lose balance on the ladder, and nearly fall.

handle broke when cutting and squezed my finger realy hard.

Got injured ( lacerations to ear and neck) by falling element from Fiskars 16'pruner with telescoping arm. Could have killed me if I had not dodged it

While trimming some hedges and small trees, I pinched my thumb. In addition, my thumb was cut in two different places from the pinching.

Finger sliced while using Fiskars Softgrip Garden Multi-Snip

I was using my 14 foot Fiskars telescoping tree pruner. While sawing, the orange "handle" covering the shaft detached from the telescoping clamp and came off of the pruner. I searched for information and found a recall notice for Fiskars [REDACTED] pruners that suffered the same exact problem. Fiskars makes it clear that their recall ONLY APPLIES to [REDACTED] pruners.
