Summary

The Gillette Company is recalling about 87,000 Venus Simply3 disposable razors because the blades may be misaligned. This manufacturing defect creates a higher risk of consumers being cut during normal use, with one report of a laceration already received. The affected razors were sold nationwide in 4-packs and Daisy 12+1 bonus packs between January 2019 and May 2019. Consumers should stop using these razors immediately and contact Gillette for a replacement voucher.

Risk

The razor blades are misaligned due to a manufacturing error, which can cause the blades to cut the user's skin during normal shaving. One consumer has already reported being cut while using the recalled razor.
