DEWALT Framing Nailers recall: Serious Injury Hazard
DEWALT Recalls Framing Nailers Due to Serious Injury Hazard
Why was DEWALT Framing Nailers recalled?
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.

Consumers should immediately stop using the framing nailers and contact DEWALT for instructions on receiving a free replacement bump action trigger.
