What the authority reported
The work piece contact element can bind in a compressed position allowing the nail to be discharged by activating the trigger alone rather than the intended two step actuation process, posing a potential laceration hazard. As of May 3, 2024, the company has received 1 reported incident in which a consumer sustained an injury in Canada.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
