Official recall record

RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailers and RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailers

What the authority reported

This recall involves the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailer and the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailer. The model and serial numbers are located on the data plate found either on the side of the nail tray/magazine where the fasteners are loaded or on the bottom of the nailer where you insert the battery. Only nailers without either a black ink mark or a punched hole next to the serial number on the data plate are included in the recall. Model Number / Name number Serial Number Range R09894 - 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailer CS21146D220001 - CS24165N220001 R09895 - 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailer CS21275D220001 - CS24165N220001 Hazards: The dual action engagement system on the nailers can malfunction and involuntarily discharge a nail by pulling the trigger alone, posing a laceration hazard to consumers. The nailer should require both the work piece contact element (nose-piece) to be depressed and the trigger to be pulled at the same time in order to discharge a nail.
