The product, in the report: Harbor Freight Portland 14 inch electric chainsaw , green/black in color
Harbor Freight had a recall on a 14 inch Portland electric chainsaw due to the motor continuing to run after releasing the trigger. The new chainsaw (which is identical to the recalled one but with a different model number) is what I purchased and has the very same problem but NO recall has been issued. I believe a recall should be issued on the new replacement chainsaw as soon as possibly due to the same unsafe condition.

The product, in the report: 14” electric chainsaw
I was cutting down some tree limbs using a Portland chainsaw (67255) purchased from Harbor Freight and it would not turn off upon releasing the trigger and safety switches. I had to disconnect from the power source. I was up a ladder and was lucky not injure myself. I had noticed a few minutes earlier that the trigger switch got briefly stuck on then released.
