The hazard

The saw handle's switch can fail, causing the saw to smoke, spark, and trip circuit breakers, and disable the safety brake. The saw also can keep operating unless the unit is unplugged, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using these saws, destroy and discard them. The firm is out of business. A remedy is no longer available.
