Two Chinese-made models were recalled! The number involved exceeded 1 million!

It is learned that according to foreign media reports, on April 14, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of Crafter hot melt glue guns. The reason for the recall is that the glue gun may malfunction after being plugged in, posing a risk of fire and burns.

The recall reportedly involves Crafter's square glue gun, which is made of plastic, has a black body, an orange trigger and tip. There is a silver UL certification label above the handle of the glue gun, with "GLUE GUN" and "XY-15302" printed on it. The glue gun can spray hot glue after plugging in the power supply and pressing the switch.

The report said that these glue guns were made in China and imported into the United States by Greenbrier International Inc. They were sold at Dollar Tree stores from August 2020 to February 2022, Family Dollar stores from January 2022 to February 2022, and the shopping website www.dollartree.com from August 2021 to February 2022, priced at about $1. Currently, a total of 1,025,000 units have been sold in the United States and 21,900 units have been sold in Canada. The following is a product picture:

It is understood that the CPSC has received 7 reports of electrical failures in hot melt glue guns, including 4 fire reports and 1 skin irritation report. The remedy for this recall is that buyers need to stop using the glue gun immediately and return it to Dollar Tree or Family Dollar stores for a full refund. At the same time, retailers are also actively contacting online shoppers to provide refund services.
