Sears and the United States Product Safety Commission have issued a hazard warning for the company's well known circular saw.
The company says the logo (pictured left) can partially detach and expose a portion of the blade. Sears reported that they knew of two such incidents, one of which caused an injury requiring 12 stitches.
The recall involves a 7-1/4-inch circular saw. The model numbers included are: 172.108550, 172.108560, 172.108650, and 172.108660. The model number is located on the circular saw's upper motor housing. Model numbers 172.108560 and 172.108650 have a gray body housing and a gray blade guard. Model numbers 172.108550 and 172.108660 have a black body housing and a gray blade guard. "Craftsman" is written on the label on the upper blade guard.
The organizations said that consumers should immediately remove the Craftsman label from the upper blade guard. For additional information, call Sears at (800) 659-7026 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
