No one hurt Made Oct 23, 2019, sent to the company Nov 15, 2019, published by CPSC Dec 2, 2019
The product, in the report: 18 volt, hammer drill
The consumer estimates that he uses the drill 10 times per month and may have used it for a total of 30 days since he purchased it.
10/1/2019: The consumer used the drill for approximately 30 minutes (off and on), when parts of the drill separated. The consumer heard a grinding type of noise and stopped using it. He saw a few small pieces of plastic on his hand. He held the drill up for further examination, but didn’t see any damage. He pulled the trigger to start the drill and the grinding noise continued and that is also when small plastic parts shot from inside the drill and hit him in the face.
The consumer was wearing his regular eye glasses and he was not injured.
There is a plastic ring, approximately the size of a silver dollar inside the drill and that is where the plastic pieces separated from.
The drill does not appear to be included in any CPSC recall.
