Ryobi Recalls Portable Table Saws

Ryobi is recalling about 21,500 RTS20 portable table-saws. The saw blade on the motor carriage could be misaligned, posing a laceration hazard.

The company received one report of a consumer being hit by a piece of metal during the cutting operation. There was no report of a physical injury or property damage.

This recall involves the RTS20 Ryobi ten-inch, portable table-saw. The table saw has a blue base and warning label with the model RTS20 and the Ryobi name printed on it and attached to the rear of the saw.

Home Depot retail outlets sold the saws nationwide and Canada from July 2010 through October 2010 for about $200. The saws were made in China.

Consumers should contact Ryobi immediately to receive a free inspection of their product and, if necessary, a free repair or replacement of their RTS20 Ryobi table-saw.

For additional information, contact Ryobi at (800) 597-9624 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.ryobitools.com
