3 notices where the recalled products are battery chargers.
The battery charger can fail to automatically shut off after the battery is fully charged, which can cause the battery to burst, and poses fire, burn and electrical shock hazards to consumers.
Metal clips inside the chargers could come loose and stick through the chargers' vents, possibly resulting in consumers receiving an electrical shock.
3 notices where the recalled products are drills.
The drill's wiring can contact internal moving parts, posing a shock hazard.
The trigger switch of the cordless drill can overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
The switches on these power tools, which were manufactured by Eaton Corp., of Cleveland, Ohio, can stick. The drills can continue to operate after the trigger is released, posing a risk of injury to consumers.
3 notices where the recalled products are nailers.
The bump action trigger on the framing nailers could have been incorrectly assembled during production, which would allow the nailer to eject a fastener unexpectedly or cause the trigger lock-off not to function. This can pose a serious injury hazard to the user or bystander.
The nailer can operate when the lock-off (safety) is in the locked position. Also, the nailer can operate when the trigger is not pulled and the contact trip is depressed. The unexpected ejection of a nail poses a serious injury hazard to consumers.
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.
2 notices where the recalled products are miter saws.
The miter saw's rear safety guard can break or detach, posing an injury hazard due to projectiles that can strike the user and bystanders and a laceration hazard to the user who could come into direct contact with the saw blade.
Bolts on the saws can loosen and the blade could detach, posing a risk of lacerations to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a generator.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) installed on the generator could fail to operate properly, posing a risk of electric shock to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a circular saw.
The lower blade guard can fail to close, leaving the blade exposed and presenting a laceration hazard to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a table saw.
The pivot bracket on the saw can separate, which can misalign the blade and the fence and cause kick back. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a angle grinder.
The ceramic cloth abrasive flaps on the disc can detach while in use on a grinder, posing laceration and injury hazards.
DEWALT notices outside the product types above.
The switch on these saws can short circuit, posing a fire hazard.
The recall contact each official notice gives, newest first. Contacts can change after a notice is published; the notice itself is the final word.
