The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says there have been seven incidents involving the glue guns, including two injuries involving electrical shock and burns.
The "Crafters Square" hot melt mini glue guns were sold nationwide at Dollar Tree, Dollar Bill$, Dollar Express, Greenbacks, Only One $1 and Deal$ stores from February through August 2007.
