Wagner Spray Tech Corp. is recalling about 35,000 Wagner paint sprayers. The on-off switch can be dislodged from the casing, resulting in exposure of electrical connections. This can pose an electrical shock hazard to the consumer.

The sprayers, made in China, were sold by major chain home centers and hardware stores nationwide from August 2007 through April 2009 for about $99.
