Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Avon is recalling approximately 27,000 nut choppers because the metal tines in the grinding mechanism can bend or break during use. These metal fragments can fall into the food being prepared, posing a risk of injury to consumers. The affected products were sold by independent Avon representatives and online at Avon.com between June 2013 and December 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using these choppers and return them to Avon for a full refund.

Risk

The internal metal tines of the grinding mechanism can snap off and become mixed into the chopped nuts. This creates a danger of consumers accidentally ingesting sharp metal pieces or suffering cuts to the mouth or throat.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled nut chopper to avoid the risk of metal fragments falling into your food.
  2. Identify your product by checking the original corrugated box for product identification number F3730731 or brochure number 978-044. The chopper itself is 7 1/2 inches tall with orange plastic accents and a metal crank handle.
  3. Contact Avon Products to arrange for the return of the nut chopper and to receive a full refund.
  4. Call Avon Products toll-free at (877) 217-5076 for English or (877) 217-5077 for Spanish from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.avon.com and click on 'Product Recall' at the bottom of the page.
