As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Nov 28, 2022, sent to the company Dec 1, 2022, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2022

    The product, in the report: Flex 2.5ah 24v lithium 1/2” Drill driver

    Flex 24v battery powered drills, the batteries are leaking/melting a black sticky ooze out all over. It gets into everything. Flex tools are sold at Lowes Home Improvement Centers. Store managers at two stores in Palm Beach County, FL were uncooperative when these were brought in telling me that Lowes sold them but did not support them. I received replacement batteries and a new drill from Flex Corporate on 10-4-2022, just noticed today that one of the batteries is doing the same thing. I have photos of the tools and batteries.
