There have been two reports of these sanders sparking and smoking while in use. These 3-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch sanders are yellow and black with "Mirka" printed on the front and were sold nationwide through various distributors and online at sites like Amazon.com from January 2013 through March 2016. Owners of these specific models should stop using them immediately and contact Mirka for a free replacement sander.
