Amputation hazards always catch my attention, too. I just wanted to quickly share this recall information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) that was issued yesterday.
Wintertime is a good time to do the heavy duty yard work because the grass isn’t growing a foot a week like it did here in Jacksonville this summer. Plus it’s nowhere near as hot and humid. Do you have a dead tree in the yard? Have you been wanting to pull out the old chain saw and bring that tree to the ground before it lands on you, your house or the neighbor’s house? Have you ever considered buying or renting a log splitter? As with any piece of power equipment, extra precaution and forethought is always a good idea when everything is working right. What happens when it breaks or has a hidden design defect?
Recalled product
This particular log splitter has a potential defect that could cause amputation of a finger, limb or even death.
