Scott Fetzer Consumer Brands has recalled approximately 43,200 American Angler Electric Fillet Knives (Model 32300) sold at Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, and Amazon between January 2019 and October 2021. The knives, which are orange or gray, have a trigger mechanism that can become stuck in the 'on' position while in use. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact the company for a free replacement.
The trigger mechanism can fail to release, causing the motorized blade to remain active even when the user is not pressing the trigger, which creates a high risk of serious laceration injuries. While no injuries have been reported for this specific knife, the potential for permanent damage from an uncontrolled power blade is significant.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled EFK, unplug the unit, and cut the power cord. Consumers should then contact Scott Fetzer Consumer Brands to receive a free replacement EFK by mail. Consumers will need to provide their mailing address and proof of destruction by sending a photo of the recalled product and cut cord to the firm. The consumer should then throw away the unit in their trash.
