Greetings from Amazon.com.

We have recently learned that Milwaukee, in cooperation with the U.S. 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling 
Milwaukee Power Plus, Chicago Pneumatic, and Extractor 14.4 and 18 volt 
2.4 Ah NiCd battery packs.  It has been determined that if a vent on the 
battery cell is damaged or compromised during use, the battery can 
explode and pose a laceration hazard to consumers.

Our records indicate that you have purchased a Milwaukee Power Plus, 
Chicago Pneumatic, or Extractor 14.4 and 18 volt 2.4 Ah NiCd battery 
pack through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this 
recall.  This recall includes 14.4 and 18 volt 2.4 Ah NiCd Milwaukee 
Power Plus, Chicago Pneumatic, and Extractor battery packs manufactured 
between July 1999 and February 2004.  The brand name can be found on a 
label on most battery packs.  However, some 14.4 Volt 2.4Ah packs did 
not have b
Power Plusb
 on the label.  The battery packs were sold both 
with tool kits and as individual battery packs.  Battery packs 
manufactured after February 2004 are not subject to this recall.

You should immediately stop using the recalled battery packs and contact 
the Milwaukee Electric Tool Co. to determine if you have one of the 
recalled batteries.  Milwaukee Electric Tool Co. will provide a free 
replacement battery pack for customers with recalled units.  For more 
information, contact Milwaukee Electric Tool Co. at (800) 729-3878 
between 7 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the 
firmbs Web site at www.milwaukeetool.com.

bulletin at:

If you purchased this item as a gift for someone, please notify the 
recipient immediately and provide them with the information in the CPSC 
bulletin concerning these safety issues.
