Fiskars and Craftsman recall retractable saws due to breakage risk

       PROVIDENCE, RI (WPRI) — Fiskars is recalling more than 467,000 16-foot retractable saws/pruners.
        According to the CPSC, the telescoping stem can come loose and cause the blade head to fall off, creating a risk of cuts. The company received reports of two such incidents, both of which resulted in injuries requiring stitches.
       These pole saws/pruners were sold in home improvement stores across the country from December 2016 to September 2020.
        We encourage consumers to stop using these tools and contact Fiskars at 888-847-8716 for instructions on how to destroy and dispose of these tools in exchange for a full refund. Fiskars can also be contacted through the website.
       Black & Decker is recalling its 10″ CRAFTSMAN® CMECSP610 corded extension chainsaw.
        According to CPSC, if the extension cord adapter is connected upside down, the chainsaw may start unexpectedly, creating a cut hazard. As a result, the company received one injury report.
       From October 2019 to August 2020, about 82,000 table saws were sold in hardware stores across the country, according to CPSC.
       Consumers should stop using recalled saws and contact the company at 855-237-6848 or Recall@sbdinc.com to obtain a free repair kit.
       According to the CPSC, more than 77,000 pairs of illuminated rain boots are being recalled because the rivets used to attach the handles can come off, creating a choking hazard for children.
       The Western Chief Boots by Washington Shoe Company are available exclusively at Target from May to October 2020.
       The CPSC reported that there were 115 reports of rivets being ripped off, including two cases of children taking small fragments in their mouths, but no injuries were reported.
       The boots under the recall are “Abstract Camo”, “Alia Silver” and “Sweetheart Navy”, model numbers T24121725P, T24121728P and T24121729P respectively.
       Spirit Halloween has recalled about 6,100 ZAG Miraculous children’s flashlights because batteries can overheat, which can lead to burns and fire.
       The CPSC said there were four reports of flashlights overheating, including one that caused minor burns.
