The "STRAUS AUSTRIA" circular saw model ST/CS 185D-824 has been recalled due to two safety hazards. First, the internal wires and their protective tubes are not properly fixed, which means they can come loose, contact moving parts, and become damaged, creating a risk of electric shock. Second, the cutting wedge can become permanently deformed, which can cause injuries during use.
The authority has ordered a sales ban and withdrawal of this product from the market, along with a recall from consumers. The source does not specify what consumers should do to participate in the recall or how to obtain a remedy.
