Dollar Tree said it has received seven reports of electrical malfunctions when using the glue guns, including four reports of fire and one report of skin irritation.

The plastic glue gun is black with an orange trigger and tip. The glue guns have a silver UL listed label located above the handle with “GLUE GUN” and “XY-15302” printed on the label.

“Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the Crafter’s Square Glue Gun and return it to any Dollar Tree or Family Dollar store for a full refund,” the notice says.
