WMH Tool Group Inc. Recalls Wilton Mitre Saws for Laceration Hazard

Hazard

The aluminum cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw to the head assembly (which contains the saw blade) can crack under extreme pressure or force, causing the blade assembly to unexpectedly break free from the stationary base. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
