JACKSON, TN, United States (UPI) — Porter-Cable, of Jackson, Tenn., said Thursday it was recalling about 25,000 of its cordless brad nailers.<!—-><!—-> <!—->
The nailer can eject a nail while the switch is in the ‘off’ position if the trigger is pulled and it is placed on a surface. This can pose a serious injury to consumers or bystanders.<!—-> <!—->
Porter-Cable has received two reports of injuries, including puncture wounds to the leg and back requiring surgical removal of the nail. <!—-><!—->
The recall involved devices with model number BN200V12 located on the nameplate on the magazine of the unit. ‘Porter-Cable’ is printed on the nailer`s motor housing.<!—-><!—->
Consumers should stop using the nailer immediately and contact Porter-Cable to receive free caution labels and an instruction manual insert. <!—-><!—->
