Heat Guns Recalled Due to Fire and Burn Hazards

About 300,000 heat guns made by Wagner Spray Tech Corporation, are being recalled because 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.

To date, the company has received 9 reports of the heat guns overheating.

The recalled heat guns emit hot air and are used for paint and flooring removal, defrosting freezers and water lines, bending plastic, hobbies, etc.

Recalled models include the Milwaukee Heat Gun MHT3300, ACE HT3500 Heat Gun, and the Wagner Heat Gun HT3500. The heat gun’s name and model number are located on a black label on the bottom of the heat gun’s barrel. The heat guns are black or yellow plastic and measure about 10 inches long, 8 inches high and 3 inches wide.

The heat guns were sold at major and independent hardware and home improvement stores nationwide from November 2004 through April 2009 for about $40.
