Mueller Austria is recalling approximately 106,000 Onion Chopper Pro (Model M-700) units due to a defect where the locking tab can break during use. The company has received 266 reports of the tab breaking, which has caused 137 laceration injuries to the hands and fingers. These gray and green choppers were sold online at Amazon.com between September 2016 and July 2020 for about $20. Mueller Austria is providing a free replacement model with a newly-designed locking tab to all affected consumers.
