Bosch Tool recalled a Dremel tool due to risk of burns.
The model is the Dremel MICRO Model 8050 Rotary Tool, with date codes 407 through 505. The date codes can be found on the name plate of the product, which is on the side opposite the Dremel logo.
Bosch has received six reports of the tool overheating, though no injuries have been reported.
"The tool’s circuit board can overheat and melt the tool’s enclosure. If the tool is being held while overheating, it could present a risk of burn. Additionally, some tools may lose their speed control changing to high speed in use, turn on by themselves, or may not turn off, posing a personal injury hazard," the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement on their website.
The USCPSC said Bosch manufactured about 93,000 of the tools in Mexico, of which 2,750 were sold in Canada. The Dremels were sold at Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and other home improvement stores.
Consumers who own one of the tools are asked to call Bosch at 855-866-1291 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Or, consumers can go to www.dremel.com and click on "Customer Service & Safety Information" for more information.
