Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190518-5BD90-2147380897. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Matched catalog product: Ryobi model P108; part number 130429075. Source model text: S651D. Incident: I was using my Ryobi 1/4 sheet sander, model number S651D to sand down some cabinets we were building when about 30 seconds into the sanding, the thing exploded in my hand. Particles hit my body and face though lucky for us, nothing got into our eyes. The sander broke into about 30 little pieces at high speed. I doubt it could have done any serous injury but left scratches however if it would have happened closer to my face, the impact could definitely have taken out an eye.
