Recall: Fuel Cells used with framing nailers pose fire hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Paslode, has announced a voluntary recall of about 86,000 "Tall Red" Fuel Cells. The fuel cells, used to power cordless framing nailers, can leak fuel, posing a fire hazard.

Manufactured in the United States, and sold from February 2008 through April 2008 by construction supply and home center stores and dealers for between $11 and $14, the "Tall Red" fuel cells are for use in Paslode cordless framing nailers. Please see the CPSC press release for date and manufacture codes.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the fuel cells, and to return them to the place of purchase for credit or a full refund. For more information, contact Paslode at (800) 222-6990, visit their website at www.paslode.com (PDF), or email the firm at productsupport@paslode.com.
