The CPSC and DeWalt are recalling DeWALT DWCS600, 18-inch corded chain saws.  A defective power switch permits the chainsaw to continue running even when the switch is in the off position.  The saw may unexpectedly turn on when it is first plugged in.  This defect creates risks for the user and bystanders.  About 8500 of these corded chainsaws have been sold nationwide.  Immediately stop using these chainsaws.  Contact DeWalt by phone at 1-855- 474-5875 or via email at recall@sbdinc.com to receive a prepaid shipping label for returning your saw and receiving a safe replacement.
