WMH Tool Group Inc. Recalls Wilton Mitre Saws for Laceration Hazard
Laceration
The hazard
The aluminum cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw to the head assembly (which contains the saw blade) can crack under extreme pressure or force, causing the blade assembly to unexpectedly break free from the stationary base. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
Incidents reported: WMH is aware of four reports of cracked pivot housings, one of which resulted in the separation of the saw blade from the base. No injuries have been reported relating to this hazard.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using these saws, destroy and discard them. The firm is out of business. No remedy is available.
Contact: The firm is out of business. Call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
