Summary

Approximately 211,000 STANLEY brand 16 oz. wooden handle nailing hammers are being recalled because the black molded grip on the handle can come loose during use. This recall involves model number STHT51454, which was sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide between July 2018 and August 2019. Stanley Black & Decker has received one report of a grip coming loose, though no injuries have been reported.
