2 notices where the recalled products are nailers.

The pneumatic nailers can jam and override the safety switch that permits only one nail to fire at a time, posing an injury risk.

The nailers could have a faulty feeder that can allow nails to be ejected sideways, posing a serious injury hazard to the user or bystanders.
One notice where the recalled product is a circular saw.

The lower blade guards on these saws can stick in the open position, exposing the blade and posing a serious laceration hazard.
