The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with DEWALT announced a voluntary recall of the DEWALT D51825 and D51850 Framing Nailers. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

There are about 9,000 unitis involved in this recall. 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. This can pose a serious injury hazard to the user or bystander.The DEWALT framing nailers with model numbers and date codes listed below are the ones being recalled:
 

Model Number	Description	Date Code Range
D51825	Clipped Head Framing Nailer	20080249-20082749
D51850	Full Round Head Framing Nailer	20080249-20082749

These units were sold at Wholesale distributors and retailers nationwide from January 2008 through September 2008 for about $280.For additional information, go to the CPSC website or contact DEWALT toll-free at (877) 437-7181 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s Web site at www.DEWALT.com
