Cuisinart has recalled approximately 25,000 of its Elite 7-cup food processors because the reversible slicing and shredding disc can loosen during operation. When this happens, the blade can strike and shatter the plastic cover, sending broken pieces toward the user. Cuisinart has received one report of a consumer being struck in the face by a piece of the cracked plastic cover. These units were sold nationwide at major retailers like Macy's and Best Buy, and online at Amazon.com, between October 2012 and June 2013 for about $100. Consumers should stop using the food processor immediately and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement lid and disc.
The slicing/shredding disc can become unstable while the motor is running, causing the blade to impact and break the food processor's cover. This sends sharp shards of plastic flying toward the consumer, posing a serious risk of cuts and lacerations.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled food processors and contact Cuisinart to receive a free replacement lid and reversible slicing/shredding disc.
