What happened

The recalled chain saws are red with black and gray accents, have "CRAFTSMAN" printed on the cutting bar and motor end cap, and are identified by model number CMECSP610 on a label on top of the motor. Only chain saws manufactured with date codes between 2019-40 and 2020-35 are affected; the date code is laser etched on the underside of the handle base.
