Nailers with a "T" following the date code and nailers in the original packaging with a green dot identifier on the cardboard packaging are not included in this recall.

Hazards

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.

Reported injuries

None reported.

Remedy

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