When using the saw, on an irregular shaped piece of wood, there was suddenly a loud noise, the workpiece went flying forward and the guard broke into several pieces at high velocity.

No one hurt Made Jul 24, 2017, sent to the company Aug 1, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 15, 2017
The product, in the report: SkilSaw 10-inch compound miter saw, with model number 3800 (F012380000)
Utilizing the Skilsaw 3800 compound mitre saw and making a straight-cut on a piece of 1x3 whitewood, the lower guard assembly broke and came in contact with the blade during use causing shrapnel to fly in all directions. The potential was that severe lacerations could of occurred - fortunately no medical injuries were incurred
Reading a similar recall, the notice for the Skilsaw 3316 sounds identical to this models issue. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2012/bosch-recalls-skilsaw-miter-saws-due-to-laceration-hazard
I have owned this specific model for some time and was purchased from Lowes.

No one hurt Made Nov 19, 2016, sent to the company Nov 29, 2016, published by CPSC Dec 13, 2016
The product, in the report: SkilSaw Miter Chop Saw 6 table mounted. SkilSaw® 10-inch compound miter saw, with model number 3316. 120V-60Hz, 5000/min- F012331600
While the saw was in operation, cutting a 2 x4 piece of lumber, the miter saw greatly malfunctioned. The saw made a loud noise and parts of the saw flew out of the machine. Previous to this incident the saw had been in good operational order and worked quite well. The parts that broke off, becoming projectiles, included a section of the rip guide and what appears to be part of the pivoting blade guard ( black metal). Fortunately, the operator and bystanders were uninjured.The saw has been removed from service. However, it is necessary that is replaced ore repaired as it is essential piece of or scene shop.

The product, in the report: Skilsaw 10” Compound Miter Saw, Model 3315, date code 109
I have a Skilsaw (brand) Miter Saw, Model 3315 with the date code 109. The lower blade guard has partially broken away from the machine and made contact with the blade. This appears to be a similar problem to the Skilsaw Compound Miter Saw model 3316 which has already been recalled.
