What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm power tool capable of causing serious injuries (laceration and impact wounds). However, no injuries have been reported despite seven mechanical incidents. Per the rubric, when the source explicitly states no injuries reported and the hazard is not yet realized, the maximum score is 3.

Plain-English summary

Grizzly Industrial Inc. of Bellingham, Washington is recalling approximately 2,300 G0815 15" 3HP heavy-duty planers. These planers are woodworking tools used to smooth and flatten boards and ensure consistent thickness. The recalled model measures 32 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and 23.5 inches high and bears the Grizzly branding and model number G0815 on the front.

The chip breaker component can contact the rotating cutterhead blades during use. When this occurs, debris can be ejected from the planer, posing impact and laceration hazards to the operator and bystanders. Grizzly has received seven reports of rotating cutters breaking. No injuries have been reported to date.

The planers were sold nationwide and online through Bibb Tool & Cutter, Hamilton Tool and Supply, PMC Tool Company, Stoll Brothers Lumber stores, and other hardware retailers, as well as through Grizzly.com, HomeDepot.com, Tractor Supply.com, MaxTool.com, and other websites between June 2016 and September 2025, priced between $900 and $2,400.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled planers. Grizzly Industrial is offering a free repair kit consisting of an upgraded chip breaker adjustment rod, spacer, set screws, lock washers, and lock nuts.
