DKB Household is recalling approximately 9,340 Cole & Mason 505WEG Pepper Mills (Item Number H50501PWE) because the metal grinding mechanism can shed metal shards during use. These clear acrylic mills, which stand about 6 inches tall, were sold empty and exclusively at Wegmans Food Markets between January 2021 and January 2023. The firm has received three reports of consumers finding metal shards in their food, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the mills immediately and return them for a full refund.
The pepper mill's internal metal grinding mechanism can break off metal shards during the first several uses, posing a laceration hazard if these shards are ingested. Three incidents of metal shards in food have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pepper mills and return them to Wegmans for a full refund. Wegmans is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled pepper mills.
Cole & Mason 505WEG and Item Number H50501PWE are printed on the pepper mills.
