DEWALT is recalling about 17,680 Elite Grinder Series 4.5-inch 40G T27 High Density Flap Discs because the abrasive flaps can detach while the disc is spinning on a grinder. There have been three reports of these discs coming apart during use, resulting in three injuries involving cuts and scrapes. The recalled discs include models DWA8280HRT and DWA8280RT with date codes ranging from 2024-36 to 2024-48. Consumers should immediately stop using these discs and contact DEWALT for a full refund.
The ceramic cloth abrasive flaps on the spinning disc can break off and fly away while the grinder is in use, posing a serious risk of laceration and impact injuries to the user or anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled flap discs and go to the DEWALT website at https://www.dewalt.com/support/safety-notices-and-recalls/flap-disc-recall to participate in the recall. Consumers will be asked to write "Recall" on the disc and upload a photograph to the firm's website. Consumers will then be asked to certify that they disposed of it in the trash to receive a refund.
