Positec recalls chainsaws over cutting hazard

(CNN)– Positec is recalling about 50-thousand chainsaws and Polesaws over a cutting hazard.

The CPSC says the main switch on the saws can fail allowing the saws to keep running after the switch is released.

No injuries have been reported.

The recalled saws include hyper tough, Worx and Portland saws.

They were sold at Walmart and Harbor Freight stores in the U.S. and online at Amazon, Harbor Freight, and Worx between September 2024 and March.

Consumers should immediately stop using them and contact Positec for a replacement.
