Milwaukee Tool Issues Major Recall After Finger Laceration

This is no Chainsaw Massacre, but it's still scary as hell.

Milwaukee Tool on Thursday issued a massive recall for one of its popular top-handle chainsaws: the M18 FUELTM Top Handle Chainsaw with either a 12-inch or 14-inch bar.

Reason Behind The Recall

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety, the popular tool company issued the recall due to the chainsaw's brake malfunction, which can pose a laceration hazard.

More than 90,000 chainsaws were sold in the U.S., with an additional 7,500 sold in Canada.

So far, there have been at least two reports of the chain brake not activating, including one injury involving a lacerated finger.
