CPSC recall 25-371, announced July 3, 2025, covers Hyper Tough, Worx and Portland Chainsaws and Pole Saws (about 49,000 units). 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 notice reports no incidents.
