The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of nearly 63,000 cordless grease guns and grease gun hoses.
The tools are made by Makita.
The CPSC said the grease gun hose can develop a hole and allow grease to be ejected from the gun. That poses a laceration hazard.
The recall affects grease gun models XPG01S1, XPG01SR1 and XPG01Z and hoses with model numbers 191A79-9, 191A80-4, 191W59-7 and 191W58-9.
The model number can be found on the right side of the grease gun, while the serial number is on the battery mounting port.
The following serial number ranges are part of the recall:
