Just saw this hit the Google news headlines: Recall alert: Kobalt chainsaws, pole saws sold at Lowe's recalled In the event any of you may have purchased.
it's the 40v chain saws and pole saws. A problem with the switch that it can heat up and fuse so it can't be turned off. Fortunately I have the 80v saw and it's not recalled. I haven't had any issues with it. But I will knock on the wood before I cut it the next time...
