What the authority reported
The dual action engagement system on the nailers, which requires 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, can malfunction and involuntarily discharge a nail by pulling the trigger alone, posing a laceration hazard to consumers. As of July 22, 2025 , the company has received no reports of injuries or incidents in Canada or the United States.
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.
