Harbor Freight and other tool brands including DeWALT are pushing back against the Consumer Product Safety Commission on the issue of mandatory injury mitigation technology on table saws. This could significantly increase the costs of all table saws due to licensing, parts, extra labor, retooling, and more. Tool brands are worried that SawStop or other companies could be given a monopoly with this new proposed CPSC Rule.

These are my thoughts and opinions on the proposed CPSC rules and responses from public records. This is not legal advice or legal interpretation.
