Approximately 8,000 Remington-branded gasoline chainsaws are being recalled because they can leak fuel, which poses a fire hazard to users. This recall includes the Remington Outlaw model with engine sizes from 42cc to 46cc and bar lengths of 14, 18, or 20 inches. These orange and black units were sold at retailers like Lowe's, Bi-Mart, and Amazon.com between February 2016 and July 2016. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using the chainsaws and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The chainsaws can leak fuel during use or storage. If the leaking fuel comes into contact with the engine's heat or an ignition source, it can cause a fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chainsaws and contact MTD Southwest's Remington recall line for instructions on obtaining a free replacement chainsaw.
