Is my product affected?

Heat Guns

  • Brand Wagner Spray Tech Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Wagner Spray Tech is recalling several models of heat guns due to a defect in an electrical component that causes them to continue producing heat even after the power switch is turned off. This malfunction can melt the plastic exterior of the heat gun, creating a burn hazard if touched, and can ignite nearby flammable materials, creating a fire risk. The recalled models are the Milwaukee Heat Gun MHT3300, ACE HT3500 Heat Gun, and Wagner Heat Gun HT3500 with date codes V300R through Z365R and A001R through A111R. These black or yellow plastic heat guns measure approximately 10 inches long, 8 inches high, and 3 inches wide, with the model number on a black label on the barrel and the date code stamped into the handle near the power cord.

The heat guns are designed for paint and flooring removal, defrosting, bending plastic, and hobby use. Consumers who own recalled heat guns should stop using them immediately and contact Wagner for a free replacement product.
