Robert Bosch Tool is recalling about 93,000 Dremel® MICRO™ Model 8050 Rotary Tools because the circuit board can overheat, which may cause the tool's plastic casing to melt and burn the user. The company has received six reports of the tools overheating, though no injuries have been reported yet. Affected tools were sold at home improvement and hardware stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace Hardware, as well as online at Amazon.com from July 2014 through May 2015. Consumers should contact the company to receive a free repair.
The tool's circuit board can overheat, posing a burn hazard if the user is holding the device when the enclosure melts. Additionally, some tools may lose speed control, turn on unexpectedly, or fail to turn off, which can cause personal injury.
Consumers should immediately contact Robert Bosch Tool for information on a free repair.
