BLACK
AND DECKER RECALLS TO REPAIR 12-INCH MITER SAWS
AUBURN, Feb. 6---Black
and Decker Inc. of Towson, Md., is recalling more than 6,300
Industry and Construction brand 12-miter saws. Models 3660 TY1, and
3680 TY1, which make angled cuts are being recalled because bolts on
the saws can loosen and the blade detach, posing a risk of
lacerations to consumers.
Seven reports of injury
to consumers have been received by Black and Decker.
Model numbers are
located on the nameplate on the top of the saw's charcoal gray
housing. The recalled saws have date codes from 9201 through 9340
and are stamped into the end cap or back of the saws.
Home centers and
hardware stores sold the miter saws nationwide from Jan. 1992
through Dec. 1993 for between $330 and $410.
The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission suggests that consumers stop using the
saws immediately and call the Black and Decker Recall Hotline toll
free at (888) 771-4540 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
