What happened

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Ace Hardware Corp. have recalled shingling hatchets due to a hazard where the tool heads can detach during use, potentially striking the user or a bystander and causing serious injury. The recalled hatchets are approximately 13 inches long with hickory handles, leather straps, and forged steel heads that feature both a hatchet blade and a hammering face. The tools are identifiable by the word "ACE" etched on one side of the head, "TAIWAN" on the other side, and item number 2014710 printed on a label on the handle.

If you own one of these hatchets, you should stop using it immediately and return it to any Ace Hardware Store for a refund.
