TTI Consumer Power Tools Recalls RIDGID Framing Nailers Due to Laceration Hazard

CPSC published a recall notice for RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailers and RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailers from RIDGID Brushless 21-Degree Framing on July 31, 2025. CPSC identifies this hazard: The dual action engagement system on the nailers can malfunction and involuntarily discharge a nail by pulling the trigger alone, posing a laceration hazard to consumers. The nailer should require both the work piece contact element (nose-piece) to be depressed and the trigger to be pulled at the same time in order to discharge a nail. The official remedy states: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nailers and visit powertools.ridgid.com/recall to determine if their nailer is included in the recall and for instructions on how to obtain a free repair. TTI Consumer Power Tools will send a prepaid label to the consumer to return the recalled nailer, the software in the nailer will be updated, and then the nailer will be shipped back to the consumer.
