I don't know if it has a recall but I can tell you that they are super loud. Washing machines and dishwasher are quieter than this thing was so that may be why. There was no way a baby could sleep with the mechanical noises coming from it.

I'm not sure why it was discontinued. The manufacturer does not indicate any recall for this item on their website. Three other items are listed with recalls, but not this item. I hope that helps. We still use ours every day.

If you are able to find it on store shelves you are lucky! Product was discontinued last year. I'm not sure why they would discontinue such a popular toy though. ....But you might try EBay for a used one.

engadgethd.com and dailytech.com both have articles that this item was recalled by ATI.I was at Best Buy here in Vegas yesterday (9/27/06) and they had some on the shelf.There and Amazon are the only places I have seen them so I'm going to assume it was just an oversight by them and will wait for the new ones to come out.

I just purchased it at my local wal mart for $7!!! I was worried it was recalled or something, but couldn't find any info online about it so I guess it was just a really great sale!!!

No, mine did not. I haven't checked lately to see if they're selling newer models of this, but I was under the impression it was being discontinued.

Contacted customer care. They said this item has been discontinued, and have no plans to re-manufacture the product in the new future.

I believe this model was discontinued. I purchased our's about a year ago and there were two models that were very similar. They might have dropped one.

I am not aware of the unit being on recall list. I have two units and they work fine.

We can't find it anywhere either - from what I understand it's discontinued never to be made again. :(

Someone here said they contacted Pedigree and was told they were discontinued. They still show the product on their site. I am going to contact them and tell all my friends and family to do the same. Maybe with enough interest, they will make them again.

Hi, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We are not sure if this item has been discontinued already since we haven't heard back any feedback from manufacturer. Meanwhile, you can always visit Amazon to get update about this item. Thanks and have a great day.

Laurie, I have no idea why it was discontinued or that it had been discontinued until I got this inquiry from Amazon. I am very satisfied with the one I bought. It does a good job at trimming grass and weeds in areas where you can not use a string trimmer or lawn mower. It won't cut large tough weeds, but then it wasn't designed to do that. I'm sorry to hear that you can't buy it anymore.

Somebody has to be kidding. Discontinued or not! The replacement is the M570 (I think it is still available) for about a 10% of that price. I have both and they both work very, very well.
