The product, in the report: Craftsman Hedge Trimmers
Using electric hedge trimmers:
Failure of the safety switch to disengage when released resulted in a traumatic injury to my wife’s right hand requiring stitches and a trip to urgent care.
This, lightly used, always in garage tool should never, ever, fail to cutoff. This could have caused permanent damage or disfigurement.

The product, in the report: Model 900.794410
Craftsman 20” Hedge Trimmer will not shut off Model: 900.794410
The on trigger is very slow to return to its off position resulting in the edger running even after one releases the trigger. My wife accidentally cut our power cord because the edger failed to shut off. I tried to return it to Sears but did not get any assistance.
