Recall by: CPSC; Stihl Inc.


Problem: The braking system on the STihl MSA 300 battery-powered chain saws operates with a delay which creates laceration hazards for the operator and bystanders.


Sold: About 2800 chainsaws were sold nationwide by Stihl dealers.


Actions:  Immediately stop using this chainsaw and contact your Stihl servicing dealer for free replacement of the brake drum and band.  For additional information, contact Stihl by calling 1-800-233-4729.
