Affected model numbers
MHT3300HT3500The heat gun's name and model number are located on a black label on the bottom of the heat gun's barrel.
Why it was recalled
An electrical component failure inside the heat guns can cause them to continue to produce heat after the power switch is turned off. This can melt the heat gun's plastic exterior, causing a burn if the heat gun is touched and ignite nearby combustibles, posing fire and burn hazards.
Incidents and injuries
The firm has received nine reports of the heat guns overheating. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heat guns and contact Wagner for a free replacement product.
