Bench Grinders Repaired by Montgomery Ward
WASHINGTON, D. C. (March 9) -- Montgomery Ward & Co., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), today announced that it is continuing a voluntary repair program to correct a potential shock hazard in certain Wards' Powr-Kraft model TGB-5102A six-inch bench grinders. This additional notice of the voluntary repair program is being issued in hopes of receiving a better consumer response. The program was first announced by the manufacturer, McGraw-Edison Co., on August 29, 1978.
A protective sleeve that insulates an electric lead wire may wear through on some units if in contact with the motor shaft. Severe shock could result if the bench grinder is not properly grounded and the user is grounded or is touching a grounded metal object such as a water pipe.
The repair program applies only to Powr-Kraft model TGB-5102A grinders with a "77F" date code embossed on the nameplate and to certain units with the same model number that were purchased after June 1, 1973, but show no date code. Units with the "77F" date code that bear an orange inspection sticker on either the unit or its packing carton have already been inspected and are not subject to this repair program.
The grinder should not be used until it has been inspected and reworked. For instructions on having the units checked and repaired free-of-charge, owners of the grinders should write to: Bench Grinder Repair Program, C/O National Service Manager, Portable Appliance and Tool Group, McGraw-Edison Co., 2nd and Vine Sts., Boonville, MO. 65233.
To verify the model number, consumers may contact CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800/638-2772.
FAQs
- I was injured because of a brake defect in a used car I bought. May I recover from the dealer?
- May the law help me if I bought a product on credit that is defective or not provided, or if there is a billing error or if the merchant has breached a contract with me?
- Our neighbors have a vicious watchdog. We are scared to death that the dog will bite one of our children, who often wander into the neighbor's yard. What can we do?
- We live near a site where a gasoline company stores its flammable liquids. Would we be able to recover damages if an accident were to occur?
- A disclaimer that came with the lawn mower said the manufacturer did not warranty it in any way. Will that defeat our claim?
