Wire Feed Welders Recalled by Star Asia USA Due to Burn Hazard
Hazard
The wire welder's torch does not have a cold contactor as erroneously stated on the packaging and instruction manual. Without this feature, the welder generates an electrical arc immediately upon contact with the welding material, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
