Walmart is recalling about 246,000 Ozark Trail camp axes because the axe head can detach from the handle during use. There have been two reports of the heads coming off, causing minor cuts and abrasions to consumers. These axes are approximately 14 inches long, weigh 1.25 lbs, and were sold at Walmart stores and online between January 2017 and July 2018 for about $8. Consumers should immediately stop using these axes and return them to Walmart for a full refund.
The axe head can unexpectedly detach from the steel shaft during use, posing a risk of impact or laceration injuries. Two incidents involving minor cuts and abrasions have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled axes and return them to Walmart for a full refund.
