DEWALT Recalls Framing Nailers


June 251, 2009

DEWALT is recalling about 9,000 framing nailers, model numers D51825 and D51850.

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.

The nailers were sold by holesale distributors and retailers nationwide from January 2008 through September 2008 for about $280. They were made in Mexico.

The recall affects DEWALT framing nailers with model numbers and date codes listed below:

Model NumberDescriptionDate Code Range
D51825Clipped Head Framing Nailer20080249-20082749
D51850Full Round Head Framing Nailer20080249-20082749

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

For additional information, contact DEWALT toll-free at (877) 437-7181 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.DEWALT.com

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
