Cuisinart Food Processors Recalled Due to Laceration Hazards

Cuisinart has issued a voluntary recall of 8 Million food processors due to laceration hazards. The utensil’s riveted blade can crack over time, allowing pieces of the blade to break off into food and pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers. There have been 69 reports of consumers finding broken blad pieces in food, including 30 reports of injuries/lacerations to the mouth and teeth.

The recall involves all Cuisinart Food Processors with four rivets in the blades which were sold from July 1996 through December 2015 for between $100 and $350. Recalled models include model numbers (located on the bottom of the food processor) that begin with the following:

CFP-9 CFP-11 DFP-7 DFP-11
DFP-14 DLC-5 DLC-7 DLC-8
DLC-10 DLC-XP DLC-2007 DLC-2009
DLC-2011 DLC-2014 DLC-3011 DLC-3019
EV-7 EV-10 EV-11 EV-14
KFP-7 MP-14

Cuisinart is asking all affected consumers to immediately stop using the the food processor’s riveted blade and to contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade.
