StrikeMaster Lithium LazerTM Ice Auger
This recall involves the Lithium LazerTM ice auger, which is used when ice fishing to cut circular holes in ice to access the water below. The Lithium LazerTM ice auger is a 24-pound unit powered by an electric motor and a rechargeable 50 volt lithium ion battery.

The on/off trigger switch on the Lithium LazerTM ice auger’s handle can fail, allowing continued rotation of the rotating drill even in the “off” position, creating a risk of injury to the user and bystanders.

We have not received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.
