The product, in the report: 64” Belt being used on [REDACTED] Belt Sander built in 1862. 64 inch belt
Two problems that have been reported to the Federal Trade Commission;
Caller purchased a box of five 400 grit belts for his belt sander this past Summer. Around July or August 2012 he put one of the belts on the sander to etch glass but within minutes the belt snapped at the seam and almost hit him in the face.
He states that this is not an OSHA product because the belts used in the workplace are 120 inches long and his are not only 4 inches wide and 64 inches long but are used in his own garage at his home.
He would like these belts investigated and recalled before someone is injured severely.
Also note: Consumer checked on Internet & stores wherein sander belts are sold to find no endless belts of any size are sold. None have a mfg date or expiration date printed on the belt nor do they come with any storage instructions. This should be there in my opinion. My belts are used in water environments for glass work - Many others are used in a dry environment for woodworking.
The belts I have from CR Lawrence and failed were made by 3M. Altho Lawrence will not provide the mfg date and tell me they will last 1 year. How long did they have them in stock prior to selling them to me? This mgg date & expiration date is vital for the user as well as any storage info.
Retaping the seam if necessary (wherein they fail) should also be made available to users.
