DeWALT Drills Due to Shock Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The drill's wiring can contact internal moving parts, posing a shock hazard.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
