Hazard

The throat plates do not securely snap into the router's table top bit opening. The throat plate can come loose during operation and be ejected from the table top, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Consumers should immediately check their router tables to ensure that the throat plates securely snap into the router bit opening. If any throat plates do not securely snap into the table top, consumers should stop using the router table immediately and contact One Word Technologies for a free replacement set of throat plates.
