Harbor Freight Recalls Electronic Handgun Safes Due to Serious Injury Hazard

Plain-English summary

Harbor Freight Tools is recalling approximately 25,000 electronic handgun safes sold under the Union Safe Company and Bunker Hill Security brands. The recall involves two models of 0.17 cubic foot capacity safes that are dark gray. The specific SKU numbers are 62984 for Union Safe Company and 61581 for Bunker Hill Security, which are printed on a permanent label on the door.

These safes were sold at Harbor Freight Tools stores nationwide and online from November 2014 through February 2018 for about $65. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled handgun safes and secure the handguns to keep them away from children. To obtain a remedy, consumers should return the safes to any Harbor Freight Tools location for a full refund of the purchase price in the form of a Harbor Freight Tools gift card.
