2.2M Stanley Black & Decker DeWalt tools recalled


The recalled DeWALT Model DWHT56024 Sledgehammer.

More than 2 million DeWalt, Stanley Fatmax and Craftsman Fiberglass sledgehammers are being recalled over injury concerns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday.

The sledgehammers, which are made by Stanley Black & Decker, are facing recall because the head of the sledgehammers can loosen prematurely and detach unexpectedly, “posing an impact injury hazard to the user,” the CPSC said. Officials have received reports of the sledgehammers causing injuries. 

The affected products were sold at a variety of hardware stores nationwide and online sellers in the past decade. The CPSC advises owners of the sledgehammers immediately stop using them and contact Stanley Black & Decker.
