Reported risk: This recall involves Drill Master 18-volt cordless drills with item number 68239 and item number 68287.

Item number 68239 was sold individually and item number 68287 was sold as part of a kit, which included a flashlight. The flashlight is not included in the recall. The item number is located on a black label on the right side of the drill, just beneath the serial number. Drills with item number 69651 and item number 69652 are not included in the recall. Hazards: An internal switching mechanism can become stuck in the "on" position and overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.
