Reported risk: This recall involves Craftsman® routers, model number 315.17510 with date codes of A0304 or lower. The model numbers and date codes are printed on a black data label located on the electric motor's housing. The routers have an aluminum base with black handles and a black motor. All affected routers were packaged with a cloth carry bag under the stock number 17518. Routers sold without the bag are not involved in the recall. Hazards: The on-off switch on the routers could stick in the "on" position, posing a risk of serious lacerations to the operator and bystanders.
