TORONTO — Regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, together with the manufacturer, are recalling a snowblower because the product’s engine is missing a safety shield.

The company, Liquid Combustion Technology of South Carolina, said the missing shield could pose a finger laceration hazard.

The recall involves Ariens Sno-Tek Snow Blowers with the model numbers 920402 and 920403. The engine serial numbers included in the recall of these models range from 1065H04008325A through 1065H04012104A.

About 300 units were sold in Canada at Home Depot stores.
