RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailers and RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailers Recall

TTI Consumer Power Tools Recalls RIDGID Framing Nailers Due to Laceration Hazard

Recall Description

This recall involves the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailer and the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailer. The model and serial numbers are located on the data plate found either on the side of the nail tray/magazine where the fasteners are loaded or on the bottom of the nailer where you insert the battery. Only nailers without either a black ink mark or a punched hole next to the serial number on the data plate are included in the recall. Model Number / Name number Serial Number Range R09894 - 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailer CS21146D220001 - CS24165N220001 R09895 - 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailer CS21275D220001 - CS24165N220001

Hazards Identified

  • 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. The nailer should require 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.

Consumer Remedy

  • Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nailers and visit powertools.ridgid.com/recall to determine if their nailer is included in the recall and for instructions on how to obtain a free repair. TTI Consumer Power Tools will send a prepaid label to the consumer to return the recalled nailer, the software in the nailer will be updated, and then the nailer will be shipped back to the consumer.
