A recall has been issued for DeWALT drills that were sold at hardware stores nationwide.

The recall involves the DeWALT DWD110 (UPC 885911037518) and DWD112 (UPC 885911057319) 3/8-inch variable speed reversing drills. Only drills with date codes 2017-37-FY through 2018-22-FY are affected, which is a total of about 122,000 drills in the United States.

Officials said the drills wiring can contact internal moving parts, posing a shock hazard.
