The product, in the report: Log Splitter
Caller stated that he is experiencing similar problems of recall# 10-062. Hazard: The control handle of the log splitter could fail to automatically return to the neutral position as it should and could fail to stop the splitting wedge from moving forward, posing a risk of amputation to consumers’ hands and fingers.
Caller stated that he noticed the incident 1/26/15, he had been using the splitter seldomly since 2012.
1/27/16 The manufacturer was contacted and he was informed that his model was not included in the recall. Caller feels that the recall should be extended to include his product.
