Emergency room Made Dec 14, 2020, sent to the company Jan 27, 2021, published by CPSC Feb 10, 2021
The product, in the report: Drill Master 4-1/2” Angle Grinder Model Item# 69645
The consumer used the drill for approximately 5 minutes, when he dropped the angle grinder. The angle grinder hit his right leg, below the knee (just above the ankle), while it continued to operate.
The consumer sustained several lacerations to his leg. His wife rushed him to the ER, which was only minutes away. Layers of his skin were removed by the angle grinder, so sutures could not be applied. His wound was cleaned, bandages were applied to his leg and pain reliever was administered. The consumer was released the same day.
The consumer sent dealer and email about the incident. He was passed around to a few different rep’s before finally corresponding with [REDACTED], (Claims Specialist Supv.).
8/3/2020: [REDACTED] sent the consumer an email and inquired how he was doing. She asked for additional details.
[REDACTED], called the consumer, requested the angle grinder and gave him instructions as to how to file a claim. She also asked the consumer to send an email indicating what he was looking for in terms of compensation. The consumer sent the angle grinder and several extra grinding discs and the wire wheel that was being used with the angle grinder at the time of the incident.
The consumer has been waiting to see how the firm will handle the matter and what type of compensation they may offer him, but the firm has not provided further details in the last few months.
