Miter Saws Recalled by WMH Tool Group Due to Laceration Hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Performax and Wilton 10″ Sliding Miter Saws

I’m really not going to become a Products Recall blog even though I wrote about those burning candles, but I felt that the American public (or the world, for that matter–hi Calgary!) should be made aware of this debacle.

(And yes, there is more to this recall, but it’s not amusing, so I’m not including it. Look it up yourself if you really need to know.)

Now, don’t go freaking out and run into the street, flailing arms, screaming to the high heavens, especially if your saw is still plugged in.

Just calm down, take a deep breath, and try to remember:

Saws Dangerous. Saws Cut.

Remember, the finger you save could be your own.
