CPSC recall,

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

Which units
“This recall involves the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 21-Degree Framing Nailer and the RIDGID 18Volt Brushless 30-Degree Framing Nailer.”
How to tell
“The model and serial numbers are located on the data plate found either on the side of the nail tray/magazine where the fasteners are loaded or on the bottom of the nailer where you insert the battery.” “Only nailers without either a black ink mark or a punched hole next to the serial number on the data plate are included in the recall.”
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.”
What the CPSC says to do
“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.”
Remedy
“Repair”

How we checked

RIDGID's own Direct Tools Factory Outlet page for R09894B confirms the exact model: an 18V Brushless 21-degree framing nailer that drives "2 in. to 3-1/2 in. full round head framing nails" with a brushless motor. The ProToolReviews review (July 8, 2021), explicitly titled for the R09894, corroborates identity and supplies the detailed specs — 9.1 lbs bare weight, 750 nails per charge on a 4.0Ah battery, 0.113-0.131 in nails, "Single and bump fire modes" (dual), tool-free thumbwheel depth adjustment — plus the price ("Expect to pay $329.00 as a bare tool"). Model-identity guard: the official powertools.ridgid.com page now lists only the successor R098941B (bare weight 9.3 lb), a distinct SKU, so all values here were taken strictly from R09894/R09894B sources; magazine capacity and drive mechanism were not stated on the fetched pages and are left blank.
