We are issuing a product safety warning for the Windmill Mole Chaser (Harbor Freight item number 47987) noting that the blades can become detached without warning. We are not big on frivolous safety warnings: we know that hot coffee carried away from a drive-through pick-up window at a fast-food restaurant can burn you if spilled and that peanuts may contain peanut products. We do believe in product warnings when the risks are not apparent and such is the case with this Windmill Mole Chaser. We advised in our earlier review that we didn't expect this item to last long and that there was a potential danger with the sharp rotating blades. However, we didn't predict that the sharp rotating blades could become detached from this unit potentially producing an airborne meat slicer.

We have also just noticed that Harbor Freight has removed this item from their website. We are unaware if it is still being sold in their retail outlets. Companies are sometimes faced with the dilemma of potential product-liability lawsuits versus dumping surplus inventory. We'll watch for this item to show up en-mass at their liquidator outlets -- so far it's been hardy 'a blip on the radar.'

Bottom line: If you own this product be aware of the potential safety risks. We strongly advise not having this unit in an area where there are small children or animals that can reach the blades or where the detached blades could reach small children or animals.
