Wagner Heat Gun Fires

Wagner Heat Gun Fire Lawyer in Houston, Texas

On June 17, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of the following "Heat Guns" manufactured by Wagner Spray Tech Corporation:

  • Milwaukee Heat Gun MHT3300
  • ACE HT3500 Heat Gun
  • Wagner Heat Gun HT3500

These Heat Guns are dangerous because an electrical component failure inside the Heat Gun 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.

Around 300,000 of these Heat Guns have been recalled as of June 17, 2009. The recalled Heat Guns operate by emitting hot air and are used for paint and flooring removal, defrosting freezers and water lines, bending plastic and other hobbies. 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 recalled Heat Guns were sold at major and independent hardware and home improvement stores nationwide from November 2004 through April 2009 for about $40.00 per unit.
