Summary

One World Technologies is recalling about 8,400 RIDGID Coil Roofing Nailers and 4,400 Clipped Head Framing Nailers. The trigger assembly on these orange and gray tools can malfunction, causing the nailer to fire a fastener involuntarily. These nailers were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores and online between January 2012 and September 2012 for approximately $230. Consumers should stop using these tools immediately and contact One World Technologies for a free replacement.

Risk

The internal trigger assembly can fail, causing the nailer to discharge a nail without the user pulling the trigger. This unexpected firing poses a significant risk of puncture wounds, lacerations, or other serious physical injuries to the user or bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled pneumatic nailers.
  2. Identify your tool by checking the side of the nail tray or magazine for the model and serial numbers. The Coil Roofing Nailer (Model R175RNE) is affected if the serial number is between ER114600001 and ER1217008424. The Clipped Head Framing Nailer (Model R350CHE) is affected if the serial number is between ER114600001 and ER1215004424.
  3. Check the product packaging for a blue dot; if a blue dot is present, the product is NOT included in this recall and is safe to use.
  4. Contact One World Technologies at (800) 597-9624 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to receive a free replacement nailer.
