Issue
The dual action engagement system on the nailers, which requires both the work piece contact element (nose-piece) to be depressed and the trigger to be pulled at the same time in order to discharge a nail, can malfunction and involuntarily discharge a nail by pulling the trigger alone, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
As of July 22, 2025, the company has received no reports of injuries or incidents in Canada or the United States.
