Positec has recalled about 36,250 Blue Ridge Utility Knives (Model BR922OU) because the blade can protrude through the original packaging. The 6-inch retractable knives can accidentally unlock while still in their store packaging, posing a risk of cuts to anyone handling them. Two reports of the blade sticking out have been received, both of which resulted in laceration injuries. These silver-colored knives were sold exclusively at Target from August 2022 through February 2023.
The knife blade can become unlocked and poke through the plastic packaging, potentially cutting consumers while they are handling the unopened product in a store or at home. Two people have already reported being injured by blades protruding from the packaging.
Consumers should immediately and carefully inspect the packaging containing the Blue Ridge Utility Knife to determine whether the blade tip is protruding through the package. Carefully remove the knife from the packaging, avoiding the blade tip, and discard the packaging. To apply the repair, secure the knife by retracting and locking the knife in the closed position. Once the knife is removed from the packaging, the knife can be used in typical fashion.
Packaging is blue and teal with an orange-and-white mountain logo at the top.
