Conair has recalled 8 million Cuisinart Food Processors due to a laceration hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the machine’s riveted blade can crack over time. This poses the risk of having small, metal pieces of the blade break off into the processed food.
The company has had 69 reports of people finding broken pieces of the blade in processed food, according to the CPSC. There have been 30 reports of mouth lacerations or tooth injuries.
The recall involves food processors with the following model numbers: CFP-9, CFP-11, DFP-7, DFP-11, DFP-14, DLC-5, DLC-7, DLC-8, DLC-10, DLC-XP, DLC-2007, DLC-2009, DLC-2011, DLC-2014, DLC-3011, DLC-3014, EV-7, EV-10, EV-11, EV-14, KFP-7 and MP-14. This number is located at the bottom of the machine. The recall is only for food processors with four rivets in the blade.
