LINK: Consumer Product Safety Commission

(KDKA) The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced several important recalls for products you may have in your home, including a generator, a saw and a popular model of a coffeemaker.

One of the products under recall is this Black & Decker 8-Cup programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, model number TCM1000IKT.

It sold at Wal-Mart from last April until July for between $50 and $65.

The coffeemakers can overheat and melt, posing a burn hazard.

You should stop using the coffee makers and contact Applica Consumer Products, the manufacturer, for a free replacement.

Also under recall, the Ridgid 10-inch Table Saw, model R4511 with certain manufacturing date codes.

This model sold exclusively at Home Depot stores from January through July for about $600.

When the saw is used with something called a stacked blade set, the blade can be ejected from the saw, posing a serious hazard.

You should stop using this saw and contact the manufacturer, One World Technologies, for a free on-site repair.

Homelite is recalling nearly 52,000 of its Homelite, Husky & Black Max Brand Generators of various model numbers.

These sold exclusively at Home Depot and Sam's Club stores from July of last year through May for between $480 and $1,600.

The fuel gauge on these generators can leak gasoline, posing a fire hazard. Stop using the generator and contact Homelite or Black Max for a free repair kit.
