Hitachi Koki is recalling approximately 25,000 pneumatic strip nailers, including models NR83A2(Y) and NR83A3, after discovering a defect where the tools can jam and malfunction. This failure allows the nailer to bypass a safety switch that normally ensures only one nail is fired at a time. The affected products were sold at home improvement stores and online through retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's between May 2012 and May 2014. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should stop using these tools immediately and contact the company for a free repair.
The nailers can jam and override the safety mechanism, causing the tool to fire multiple nails unexpectedly. This poses a significant puncture injury risk to the user or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nailers and contact Hitachi Koki U.S.A. for instructions on how to return the product for a free repair.
