Robert Bosch Tool Corp. Announce Recall of Circular Saws due to Amputation Danger
On May 18, 2005, the Robert Bosch Tool Corp. of Mount Prospect, Illinois announced an urgent recall of approximately 69,000 electrically powered circular saws. The lower blade guard can malfunction, resulting in severe risk of injury as severe as amputation.
The company has received three reports of the malfunctioning lower guards on certain model circular saws, one of which resulted in an amputation.
The recall circular saws include the BOSCH CS10, CS20 and CS20-XC models, which can be identified on the product nameplate mounted on the top of the motor housing. The recalled models do not have an asterisk (*) in the serial number box. The circular saw uses a 7¼-inch blade and has a blue handle and motor enclosure, and a metal guarding system. The name "BOSCH" is printed on the blade guard.
Manufactured in the United States, the products were sold at Home Depot, Lowe's and Menards stores nationwide, as well as other independent hardware retailers and industrial distributors, from February 2004 through April 2005 costing between $120 and $150.
Consumers are urged to stop using the circular saws immediately and to contact Bosch to receive a free repair kit.
