Product Safety Recalls

We don't just design safe practices into our manufacturing processes, we build safety systems into our products — all of them. Why? Because at the Ariens Company, your safety is paramount. And while we have a robust, seemingly ironclad product testing program, production defects can sometimes slip through the cracks. Though usually minimal, even the smallest flaw has the potential to compromise safe operation, which is why we have a recall protocol that notifies all customers who own affected products when these situations happen. We're simply not taking any chances.
