DEWALT Recalls Cordless Brad Nailers Due to Injury Hazard

Hazard

The nailer can operate when the lock-off (safety) is in the locked position. Also, the nailer can operate when the trigger is not pulled and the contact trip is depressed. The unexpected ejection of a nail poses a serious injury hazard to consumers.
