Product E-Alerts for June 9, 2025

June 9, 2025

The CPSC has announced two serious safety concerns. DR Power Equipment has recalled its lithium-ion battery-powered chainsaws (models 414170, 414181, 41418, and 414170R) due to an overheating motor controller that poses fire and burn hazards. At the same time, consumers are urged to immediately stop using NEWDERY power banks sold exclusively on Amazon.com after multiple reports of the batteries igniting or exploding—one causing a $2 million fire and another a burn injury. The importer has refused to conduct a recall.
