What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the ceramic cloth abrasive flaps on the disc can detach while in use on a grinder, posing laceration and injury hazards. The CPSC has received at least three reports of injury accidents allegedly involving the flap disc coming apart while in use on the grinder. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the DEWALT Grinder Flap Discs immediately.
