Approximately 45,000 Kawasaki 19.2v cordless drills (model 691761) are being recalled because the trigger switch can short circuit and generate excessive heat. There have been 33 reports of incidents related to this defect, including one minor burn injury. These green and black drills were sold exclusively at Costco stores nationwide from May 2011 through February 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using the drills and can register for a free replacement drill including shipping.
The internal trigger switch can short circuit, causing the drill to overheat. This poses a significant burn hazard to the user if the tool becomes too hot to touch or if the switch ignites nearby materials.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled drills and register at www.alltrade2.fox-international.com to receive a free drill, including shipping. Alltrade Tools is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled drills. Consumers should not return the drills to the store where purchased.
