The product, in the report: 6 in. General Purpose Bench Grinding Wheel SKU 79236362475
The submitter is reporting the unit for posing an injury hazard.
She said during the first use the unit fell apart in three pieces. She indicated that it occurred while sharpening an object at 3300 RPM. She sustained a laceration on her left thumb but she believes the injury could have been worse if she had not been wearing protective gear.
At the ER they stitched her wound and took x-rays.
Her son sent a letter to the firm reporting the incident. She said the firm has not yet responded.

Emergency room Made Oct 20, 2016, sent to the company Oct 28, 2016, published by CPSC Nov 14, 2016
The product, in the report: WARRIOR 4 1/2” CUT-OFF WHEEL, 40 GRIT,ALUMINUM OXIDE, METAL CUTTING, ITEM 61195
On May 31, 2016, at my home, while using a Makita electric angle grinder with a 4.5 inch metal cutting disc to cut metal, the Warrior brand (sold by Harbor Freight Tools) cutting disc shattered. I had installed a new cutting disc prior to beginning this cut. The metal I was cutting was secured in a Black &Decker Workmate bench as seen in the photos. After having cut approximately 1 inch in to the metal the cutting disc disintegrated causing the tool to rebound against my right leg causing a 4 inch laceration to my right thigh. Depth of the laceration was more than 1 inch. I was home alone at the time so it was necessary for me to call 911 to be transported by ambulance to my local hospital emergency room in Winamac, IN. I was seen by the ER doctor initially who referred me to a surgeon for treatment of the wound. I was taken to surgery where the wound was cleaned, debrided and closed with several layers of stitches. After the post-op recovery I was allowed to return home. I have used dozens of these type discs over the years and have never had a problem. I suspect that there was some kind of manufacturing defect that caused this one to shatter.
