Reasons the product is recalled

The core drills and spare parts were installed with a gasket containing asbestos.

The hazards to consumers

Asbestos fibres may be released when the drill is in use or the affected gasket is broken. Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause a range of serious medical conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

What consumers should do

Consumers with affected products should immediately cease using the product and contact Fein to arrange the collection of the product, and either a refund or a replacement drill, depending on the model.

All affected drills must be collected immediately, taped with a commercially available, reinforced fabric adhesive tape in the affected sealing area and stored in protected, secured containers, for example in the original case.
IMPORTANT: Protective gloves and disposable dust respirators (type FFP2 at minimum) must be worn. After use these must be stored in the protected, closed container together with the drill. Under no circumstances should you open the casing of the drills yourself.

Consumers can check if their product is affected, register for product collection, and register for a refund or replacement, at www.fein.com.au/magdrill_care
