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. No one hurt

    Made Oct 1, 2020, sent to the company Dec 8, 2020, published by CPSC Dec 22, 2020

    The product, in the report: 4.5” Handheld Grinder

    The consumer indicates that the handle of his grinder has a male thread and three holes with female thread located one on top and one on each side. The consumer states that the hole on the left side stripped but he was able to avoid injuries to his hand. The consumer believes the threads may be made of aluminum thus too soft. The consumer states that the product is used once or twice per month.

    The consumer plans on keeping his grinder for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.
