The dual action engagement system on the nailers can malfunction and involuntarily discharge a nail by pulling the trigger alone, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

Recall contact: call 800-597-9624.

The CPSC data does not provide a discrete model-number list for this record. Compare the product description and identification details on the official notice.
