Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190919-2EB11-2147377586. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Arrow Fastener TC50DCD (Arrow Fastener Staple Gun T50DCD serial number KL1216). Incident: I have an Arrow Fastener T50DCD staple gun which began to malfunction in a VERY dangerous way this week. This is an electric (battery) staple gun. When working properly, you turn a power switch on, then you press the gun against a surface, then you pull the trigger and a staple is fired at high velocity into the material. When working properly the trigger will not fire a staple unless the gun is pressed into the material surface (which depresses a safety switch). This week, I turned the power switch on and the staple gun began firing staples at high velocity in rapid succession out of the gun WITHOUT me pressing the trigger OR pressing the gun into a material. Literally the act of turning the gun on caused it to start firing staples until the gun ran out of staples. I was lucky that the gun was pointed away from me or it would have fired several staples into my foot, leg, or face before I would have had time to react. This is HORRIBLY dangerous.
