|
More than a million chainsaws sold at Harbor Freight Tools |
|
stores nationwide are being recalled because they can continue |
|
to run after being turned off, posing a serious injury hazard. |
|
The company has received 15 reports of chainsaws that still |
|
operated after the user switched them off, resulting in three |
|
laceration injuries including one serious enough to require |
|
stitches, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said |
|
Monday. |

Consumer Product Safety Commission |
|
Consumers are being urged to stop using the chainsaws |
|
immediately and return the product for a free replacement, |
|
according to the CPSC. The new saws will be available at Harbor |
|
Freight Tools stores starting May 21. |
|
The recall involves two models of 14-inch chainsaws, all made in |
|
China and sold under three brand names: The Portland and One |
|
Stop Garden brand chainsaws are green and black with "Portland" |
|
printed on the blades. The Chicago Electric brand chainsaw is |
|
red and black and has "Chicago Electric" printed on its handle. |
|
The defective chainsaws were sold at Harbor Freight stores |
|
across the country and online from May 2009 through February |
|
2018 for about $50 each. |
