Important Product Recall Notice
Recall of RIDGID 18V Brushless Framing Nailers (21 and 30 Degree Models) Due to Laceration Risk
The image displays two RIDGID 18V Brushless Framing Nailers. Both tools are primarily orange with black accents and feature the RIDGID logo. The nailer on the left is shown from the side, highlighting its body and magazine, with "BRUSHLESS" visible on its housing. The nailer on the right is also depicted from the side, showcasing its profile and magazine. The numbers "21" and "30" are prominently marked near the front of the magazines, indicating the degree of nails they are designed to fire.
Product Safety Issue
The double-action engagement system on these nailers may malfunction, potentially causing a nail to discharge involuntarily when only the trigger is pressed. This presents a laceration risk to consumers. For a nail to discharge safely, the contact trip (nose) of the nailer must be depressed against the workpiece, and the trigger must be pulled simultaneously.
