Approximately 2 million Calphalon Contemporary Cutlery knives, sold individually and in sets, are being recalled because the blades can break during use. Calphalon has received about 3,150 reports of broken knives and 27 reports of hand or finger lacerations, including four injuries that required stitches. These products were sold nationwide at retailers like J.C. Penney, Kohl's, Macy's, and Amazon.com between September 2008 and December 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using these knives and contact Calphalon for a replacement.
The knife blades can snap or break while being used for food preparation, leading to jagged edges or flying fragments that can cause deep cuts and lacerations to the user's hands or fingers.
