What happened

The CPSC and Robert Bosch Tool Corp. are recalling Skil Warrior drill battery chargers because the transformer inside can overheat, causing the charger housing to melt and deform, which may ignite flammable materials nearby. The recall affects 9.6-volt, 12-volt, 14.4-volt, and 18-volt chargers that came with Skil Warrior drills (black with red trim) or were sold separately. The affected chargers were included with drill model numbers 2375, 2380, 2475, 2480, 2482, 2580, 2582, and 2882, or sold separately with model numbers 92950, 92970, 92980, and 92990 with part number 2610995852. You can identify your charger by checking the red lettering showing the volt size or by locating the model and part numbers on the label at the back of the plug or on the side of the charger.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should unplug the charger immediately. Consumers will receive a $25.00 rebate toward the purchase of any Skil power tool.
