What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the main switch on the recalled chainsaws and pole saws can fail, allowing the saws to continue to run even after the switch is released, posing a laceration hazard. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the recalled chainsaws and pole saws immediately.
