CPSC recall 09-256, announced June 25, 2009, covers DEWALT D51825 and D51850 Framing Nailers (about 9,000 units). 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. The notice reports no incidents. Consumers should immediately stop using the framing nailers and contact DEWALT for instructions on receiving a free replacement bump action trigger. Recall contact: call (877) 437-7181, or go to www.DEWALT.com.
