Cuisinart has recalled about 8 million food processors because the riveted stainless steel blades can crack over time, causing small metal pieces to break off into processed food. Conair has received 69 reports of consumers finding broken metal pieces in their food, including 30 reports of mouth lacerations or tooth injuries. These food processors were sold in various colors at department and specialty stores nationwide and online from July 1996 through December 2015 for between $100 and $350. Consumers should immediately stop using the riveted blade and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement.
The blade's rivets can fail, causing the metal blade to splinter or break into the food being processed. This creates a severe laceration or choking hazard if the metal fragments are ingested, as evidenced by reports of mouth and tooth injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the food processor's riveted blade and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade.
