Here's a more detailed look:
CHAIN SAWS
DETAILS: Two models of 14 inch chain saws sold under three different brand names at Harbor Freight Tools stores nationwide and at www.harborfreight.com from May 2009 through February 2018. The model number is printed on a label on the bottom of the chain saw. They include Portland brand with model number 67255 or 61592, One Stop Gardens with model number 67255 or 61592, and Chicago Electric with model number 67255 or 61592.
WHY: The power switch can malfunction and allow the chain saw to continue operating after the operator moves the switch to the "off" position, posing a serious injury hazard to the operator.
INCIDENTS: 15 reports of chain saws continuing to operate after being turned off by the operator, resulting in three laceration injuries including one serious injury to the arm requiring stitches.
HOW MANY: About 1,020,000.
BOILERS
DETAILS: This recall involves NY Thermal (NTI) manufactured gas boilers sold under the Trinity Tft and Slant/Fin CHS brand names used for residential and commercial use. The Trinity Tft models have the name "NTI" printed on the front and were sold in metallic grey. The Slant/Fin CHS models have the name "Slant/Fin" and "CHS" printed across the front bottom and were sold in white. They were sold at NTI professional wholesalers, heating and plumbing contractors and home appliance wholesalers nationwide from October 2011 through January 2018. The model and UPC numbers are printed on the nameplate located on the right side of the boiler. WHY: The grommet seal can reduce in size over time and dislodge during use and allow the boiler to emit carbon monoxide, posing a poisoning hazard.
