Robert Bosch Tool Recalls Dremel Rotary Tool Due to Burn Hazard

Hazard

The tool's circuit board can overheat and melt the tool's enclosure. If the tool is being held while overheating, it could present a risk of burn. Additionally, some tools may lose their speed control changing to high speed in use, turn on by themselves, or may not turn off, posing a personal injury hazard.
