STIHL

Products: mower. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 13.2/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 93th percentile of 91 consumer robotics companies.

Analyst brief

The record shows one entry: a 2023 recall of docking stations sold with iMOW robotic lawn mowers, issued for a fire hazard, at severity 3. This is a regulator-driven record (a formal recall action) rather than a press-reported injury or malfunction account. The single recall yields an index of 13.4, placing STIHL at the 93.3rd percentile of the consumer-robotics category, though the assigned band is low. The record reflects one product-safety action tied to ancillary charging hardware, not the mower units themselves, with no indication of recurrence.
