What was recalled

The 7 1/4-inch circular saws have a blue plastic body and a metal blade guard. The name "Ryobi" appears on the blade guard and the motor housing. The recalled saws have one of the following model numbers - CSB120, CSB130, CSB1308, CSB130K, or CSB130JS - which can be found on a white label on the motor housing. Some of the recalled saws were sold in kits that included a hard plastic, gray storage case (embossed with "Ryobi Circular Saw") with the saw and blade inside.

Hazard

The lower blade guards on these saws can stick in the open position, posing a risk of serious injury to the operator and bystanders.

Injuries

Ryobi Technologies has not received any reports of incidents. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

Where it was sold

  • Home centers (including Home Depot), hardware stores, and catalogs nationwide sold the circular saws, from October 1998 through July 2001, for between $60 and $140.
