Rapala is recalling approximately 3,000 StrikeMaster® Lithium Lazer™ ice augers because the trigger switch can fail, preventing the unit from turning off. This 24-pound black and red electric auger is used to drill holes in ice and was sold at various sporting goods stores between September 2014 and January 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled auger and return it for a full refund or a $700 credit toward a new product. No injuries have been reported at this time.
The internal trigger switch can malfunction and stay in the 'on' position, causing the powerful drill to continue spinning even when the user releases the trigger, posing a serious risk of impact or laceration injuries.
Return to the place where purchased for a full refund, or return to Rapala for a full refund or $700 credit toward a new product on www.rapala.com.
