The company has gotten more than 30 reports of the fan breaking and ejecting parts from the tool. There were two reports of minor cuts from the flying parts.
The tools were sold at The Home Depot, Tap Enterprises, Inc., Direct Tools Factory Outlets, Amazon.com, and Toolking.com, from 2005 to 2010. If you own one of these tools, contact One World Technologies, and you'll get a free replacement sander.

Their Lithium Ion battery technology failed on my portable drill and THEY FAILED to own-up and support it after admitting in their correspondence that it was defective!
I'll be buying from other manufacturers in the future, which starts now as I need to replace Their drill after 2 years and 3 months.
