Emergency room Made Aug 26, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 20, 2011
The product, in the report: The powerful 3.4 amp motor turns at 28,000 rpm to smoothly and easily cut a variety of sheet goods including drywall, cement board, ceramic wall tile, plaster, paneling, acoustical tile and much more! An adjustable depth guide assures proper bit depth and stabilizes the tool for accurate cutting. Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, the body of the tool flares out at the base, providing a combination dust shield and safety guard. A built-in spindle lock and on-board wrench storage make bit changes quick and easy. Great for a wide variety of applications, this tool accepts either 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch shank cutout bits. Bits are available for drywall, cement board, acoustical ceiling tile, fiberglass, plaster, paneling, and ceramic wall tile. One year warranty with a 30 day performance certification.
On Saturday, August 20, 2011, my husband [REDACTED] was using a Porter Cable Double Insulated Cutout Tool and part of the blade tore off. This lose piece touched his face and caused a deep cut wound which required Emergency room care and stitching of the face.
