Pressmaster has recalled approximately 325 Xcelite professional cable stripping tools. The tool's plastic end cap can fly off with significant force during use or while in storage, potentially striking the user or bystanders. These black, six-inch tools were sold at hardware stores and online at Amazon.com between August 2014 and November 2014 for about $90. Consumers should immediately stop using the tool and contact Pressmaster for a free replacement.
The plastic end cap of the tool can spontaneously detach and be propelled with force, posing a risk of impact injuries to the face, eyes, or body. While no injuries have been reported yet, the failure can occur even while the tool is not in active use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the cable stripping tool and contact Pressmaster to return the product for a free replacement.
