Penn State Industries is recalling approximately 1,000 CSCBARR5 quick change jaw chuck systems used with woodworking lathes. The steel jaws can loosen or break off from the chuck during use, creating a danger of flying debris. The company has received seven reports of the jaw loosening or ejecting, although no injuries have been reported yet. These silver-colored chucks were sold nationwide between March 2017 and August 2018 for between $180 and $250.
While the lathe is in operation, the jaws can detach and be thrown from the tool at high speeds, potentially causing severe cuts or impact injuries to the user or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jaw chuck systems and contact Penn State Industries to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
