STIHL Inc. Recalls Chain Saws Due to Laceration Hazard

CPSC · 11080 · published 2010-12-23

CPSC campaign 11080

Hazard

The throttle trigger may stick after it has been released by the operator, which could cause the engine to continue to run at a speed that drives the saw chain. This can pose a risk of a laceration injury to the user or a bystander.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these chain saws immediately and return them to an authorized STIHL dealer for a free repair.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
