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 Jun 6, 2020, sent to the company Jun 26, 2020, published by CPSC Jul 13, 2020

    The product, in the report: Genesis 18V cordless drill/driver GDC18CSE

    I bought a Genesis 18V cordless drill/driver GCD18CSE. The battery pack had to be charged before use. I attached the wall adapter to the charging stand and plugged it into the wall and put the charging stand onto the battery pack. The lights were on. After five minutes the decal on the back of the charging stand began to come off. I placed my thumb on the decal and was burned.
