3M Company is recalling approximately 13,440 Scotch™ brand Thermal Laminators (model TL909-50) because they can overheat during use. The affected units are light gray or white with gray accents and were sold at Office Depot, Office Smart, and School Specialty stores from August 2024 through September 2025. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the laminators and contact 3M for a full refund after providing proof that the power cord has been cut. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
The internal components of the laminator can overheat during operation, which poses a burn hazard to anyone touching the device or a fire risk to the surrounding area.

Consumers will be asked to fill out a short form, confirm that their laminator is included in the recall, and upload a photograph of the machine with the unplugged power cord cut.
