Health Canada is recalling a push lawn mower that's engine can stay on, even after you turn it off.

The blades on the 21-inch Honda-powered gas mower by Husqvarna can continue to rotate after it's shut off.

There are no reports of anyone being hurt, but if the user isn't aware, they could get cut when reaching under the deck to clear a clog or other debris, said Health Canada.

I think I was about 9 when I started mowing grass. I remember having to shut the mower off by pulling the spark plug wire off the plug with a stick and holding it away until the engine would sputter to a stop. About once a year, I would forget the stick, grab the plug wire bare-handed, leap backwards, taste my fillings, and remember to use my "safety device" the next time.

Yup or choking it out on the carb to kill it. I would say it was hot to the old man, but he just responded that it builds character. LOL

Tie strap loop just larger than the handle. Slides up over the dead man when you want to warm up the lawn mower or what ever, slides out of the way when in use. It works on mine as the dead man is the length of the push bar.

A friend had a home made mini bike, we had to pull the plug to shut it down too. Been there done that on the forget and get zapped scenario.

My bro in laws lawn mower wouldn't start so he said. I came over and said hold this here and we will see if it has spark. Non insulated cap, just sat on the plug. Not even a 1/4 of a pull and I knew we had spark
