Skacel Collection is recalling about 270 US 6 (4.0mm) addi® FlipStix knitting needles because the aluminum shafts can split or burst during use. There have been three reports of the needles splitting, which creates sharp edges that can cause cuts. The needles were sold in blue, red, and yellow combination packs of five at independent yarn stores nationwide between November 2018 and August 2019 for about $20. Consumers should immediately stop using these needles and return them to the place of purchase for a store voucher refund.
The aluminum shafts of the knitting needles can split or burst, exposing sharp metal edges that pose a laceration hazard to the user. Three incidents of the needle shafts splitting have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled knitting needles and contact the store where purchased for a full refund in the form of a store voucher.
