Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The Pampered Chef is recalling about 286,000 garlic slicers sold individually and as part of a set with a garlic peeler. A blade on the slicer can unexpectedly detach during use, posing a serious cutting risk to users. There have been 23 reports of blades detaching, including one incident where a consumer cut her finger. These white plastic, tube-shaped slicers were sold nationwide by independent consultants and online from January 2009 through July 2011.

Risk

The internal blades of the garlic slicer can dislodge from the plastic housing while in use, which can lead to the consumer accidentally cutting their hands or fingers on the sharp edges.

  2. Check your garlic slicer to see if it is the affected model. It is a two-piece white plastic tube measuring 2 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches with two blades on the end and 'The Pampered Chef' engraved on the top cover.
