Cuisinart Food Processors Recalled by Conair Due to Laceration Hazard

Conair has issued a recall of Cuisinart food processors after it was revealed that the machine’s riveted blade can crack over time and small, metal pieces of the blade can break off into the processed food. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.

Consumers should immediately stop using the food processor’s riveted blade and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade.

Customers can call Cuisinart at (877) 339-2534 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday.
