The above pictures are from a drill that was being stored in a cabinet of one of our clients.  The drill was found as shown above.  The Recall information from the CPSC is identifying the hazard as “The trigger switch of the cordless drill can overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers.”

 

If your drill is affected, STOP USING IMMEDIATELY, call DeWALT toll-free:
