Gerber is recalling approximately 2,900 Uppercut Fixed Blade Knife and Sheath sets because the sheath does not hold the knife securely. This defect allows the double-edged knife to come out of the sheath unexpectedly, which can lead to cuts. One consumer has already reported a laceration that required medical attention. These sets were sold at sporting goods stores and online between March 2013 and June 2013 for about $60.
The sheath's failure to securely lock the knife in place poses a serious laceration hazard, as the blade can accidentally slide out and cut the user or a bystander. One injury involving a cut that required medical treatment has been reported.
Consumers should immediately cover and store the Uppercut knife in a safe area out of the reach of children. Contact Gerber Legendary Blades for instructions on returning the sheath for a free replacement sheath.
