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. Consumers should immediately stop using these hammers and return them to any Walmart store to receive a full refund in the form of a Walmart gift card.
The black molded grip on the hammer's wooden handle can detach or slide off while in use. If the grip comes loose while a consumer is swinging the tool, it could cause the user to lose control of the hammer, posing a risk of impact injuries to the user or others nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hammers and return them to Walmart to receive a refund in the form of a Walmart gift card for the purchase price.
