Tools & Hardware Recalls

Hazard: The battery packs on these drill/drivers can overheat, expand and possibly rupture, creating an explosion or thermal burn hazard.

Hazard: The axles on these lawn tractors can crack and break, if subject to extreme load amounts. Should the axle break, it could cause a loss of control and result in injuries to the rider.

Hazard: Due to a wiring insulation defect, the unit may pose a possible shock hazard.

Hazard: The contact trip on some of the nailers could malfunction and cause a nail to eject unexpectedly, posing a risk of serious injury to consumers.

Hazard: The lower blade guard can malfunction, creating a risk of injury as severe as amputation.

Hazard: The rip fence - a metal guide that keeps material being sawed from shifting side to side as it passes through the cutting blade - can come loose. This could result in kickback of the material being sawed and possible injury to the operator.

Hazard: These lawn tractors can develop abrasions on the fuel tank because of the fuel line clamp's location. This can result in a fuel tank leak, which could pose a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: Fuel can leak out of the carburetor, posing a risk of fire and burn injuries.

Hazard: The electric motor in the pressure washer can overheat and melt the housing, possibly igniting nearby flammable materials or exposing live electrical parts.

Hazard: A safety switch under the seat of these lawn tractors and riding mowers is designed to stop the mower blade turning within 5 seconds of the operator leaving the tractor seat. The recalled mowers' blades can continue to turn longer than 5 seconds after the operator leaves the seat, posing a laceration and amputation hazard.

Hazard: These electric pressure washers do not have a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the power cord, which poses a serious electrocution hazard if the unit comes into contact with water.

Hazard: The plastic wheel assemblies on these wheelbarrows can break when the tires are being inflated. This can result in plastic pieces exploding from the rims of the wheels, possibly hitting nearby consumers and causing lacerations and other injuries.

Hazard: Chains on the swing can detach during use, and cause the child to fall to the ground and possibly suffer injuries.

Hazard: A rung on these aluminum, multi-purpose ladders can release or the side rail can bend unexpectedly. If that happens, the ladder can collapse, causing the user to fall.

Hazard: Plastic components on these lawn mowers and lawn tractors can crack, if they are struck by an object thrown from the blade. Objects can be ejected from the mower unexpectedly and could hit nearby consumers.

Hazard: The fuel tank can develop cracks, allowing fuel to leak, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: Overheating, posing a potential for fire and personal injury.

Hazard: The drill's switch can malfunction and overheat, posing the possibility of a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: These saws can operate while the engine is at the "idle" setting, posing a risk of serious lacerations to the operator and bystanders.

Hazard: The lower blade guards on these saws can stick in the open position, exposing the blade and posing a serious laceration hazard.

Hazard: The pads on the sanders can break apart during use and strike the operator, posing an injury hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The fuel tank can crack and leak fuel, posing a burn and fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The lower blade guard of the saw can become jammed, which can result in the consumer coming in contact with the blade and suffering a serious injury.

Hazard: A misrouted fuel line in the engine can become damaged, allowing gasoline to leak out, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: Fuel can leak out of the chain saw's tank, which could cause a fire or injury hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The capacitors on these compressors can overheat, catch fire and ignite the plastic cover above the capacitor.

Hazard: The drill's switch can malfunction and overheat, posing the possibility of a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The motor housing on the saw may crack, posing a risk of electric shock to consumers.

Hazard: The plastic wheel assemblies on these wheelbarrows, manufactured by a predecessor company, can break when being inflated with high-pressure air hoses. This can result in plastic pieces exploding from the rims of the wheels, possibly hitting nearby consumers and causing lacerations and other injuries.

Hazard: The spindle on the saw may slip, causing the blade to contact the lower guard, posing a hazard to the consumer, from an exposed blade.
