Hongkong Sun Rise Trading is recalling approximately 48,100 cordless electric chainsaws sold under the Greenworks, Kobalt, and Snapper brand names. The recall affects 16-inch and 18-inch models with 80-volt or 82-volt batteries sold at Lowe's and other retailers between January 2015 and October 2017. The chain brake guard can fail, allowing the saw to continue running when it should stop, which creates a serious risk of injury. While no injuries have been reported yet, consumers should immediately stop using these units and contact the distributor for a free repair.
The chain brake guard is a safety feature designed to stop the chain; if it fails, the chainsaw may continue to operate unexpectedly, posing a severe laceration or injury hazard to the operator.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chainsaws and contact Hongkong Sun Rise Trading for a free repair.
