Voluntary Recall of Riveted Blades Contained in Cuisinart Food Processors

Conair Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a voluntary recall of the riveted blade contained in Cuisinart food processors. Affected consumers should stop using the riveted blade immediately unless otherwise instructed.

The food processor’s riveted blade can crack over time and small metal pieces of the blade can break off into the processed food. This may pose a laceration hazard to consumers. Consumers should immediately stop using the food processors’ riveted blade and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade.

This recall involves the riveted blades in Cuisinart food processors with model numbers 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-3014, EV-7, EV-10, EV-11, EV-14, KFP-7 and MP-14. The model number is located on the bottom of the food processor. The blades have four rivets and are silver-colored stainless steel and have a beige plastic center hub. Only food processors with four rivets in the blades are included in this recall. Cuisinart is printed on the front and on the bottom of the food processors. About 8 million food processors sold at department, gourmet and specialty stores nationwide and on various websites from July 1996 through December 2015 for between $100 and $350 are included in the recall.

Consumers may call Cuisinart toll-free 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, or visit online at www.cuisinart.com\recall.
