DEWALT Recalls Framing Nailers Due to Serious Injury Hazard
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The bump action trigger on the framing nailers could have been incorrectly assembled during production, which would allow the nailer to eject a fastener unexpectedly or cause the trigger lock-off not to function. This can pose a serious injury hazard to the user or bystander.
