Hazard: The trigger switch of the cordless drill can overheat,
posing a fire hazard to consumers

I applaud DeWalt for the recall, but do you really think there is a
fire hazard? Could the switch really get hot enough to produce flames
or cause nearby combustibles to ignite?

I would think the user would have released the trigger long before it
got hot enough to become a fire hazard.

Thoughts?
