CPSC, Milwaukee Tool Corp. Announce Recall of Automotive Chargers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The automotive chargers are often used on job sites to charge power tool batteries. When used under low voltage conditions, the chargers can overheat. This poses a fire hazard.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the chargers immediately and return them to their nearest Milwaukee factory service center or authorized power tool service center. Consumers can choose from three options: an exchange for a 12, 14.4 or 18 volt battery pack, a replacement charger or a refund.
