Reason for Recall / Hazard

An electrical component failure inside the heat guns can cause them to continue to produce heat after the power switch is turned off. This can melt the heat gun's plastic exterior, causing a burn if the heat gun is touched and ignite nearby combustibles, posing fire and burn hazards.

Product Description & Identification

The recalled heat guns emit hot air and are used for paint and flooring removal, defrosting freezers and water lines, bending plastic, hobbies, etc. Recalled models include the Milwaukee Heat Gun MHT3300, ACE HT3500 Heat Gun, and the Wagner Heat Gun HT3500 with date codes V300R through Z365R and A001R through A111R. The heat gun's name and model number are located on a black label on the bottom of the heat gun's barrel. The date code is stamped into the bottom of the handle near the power cord. The heat guns are black or yellow plastic and measure about 10 inches long, 8 inches high and 3 inches wide.
