From mixers to blenders, Cuisinart has been a leader in kitchen appliances for decades. But the company has just issued a voluntary recall for about 8 million food processors because of a risk of the blade cracking and breaking off into food, according to a release from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued Tuesday. This recall makes it the largest appliance recall in history.
Conair, the company that owns Cuisinart, has received 69 reports of people who found pieces of a blade in their food, and 30 reports of injury, the recall said. About 300,000 food processors in Canada are also affected.
The recall involves food processors with model numbers that begin with the following (the model number’s on the bottom of the food processor):
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
MP-14
The following Cuisinart food processors currently sold in stores do not have a riveted blade and are not part of this recall:
• Model numbers beginning with “FP” or
• Model numbers beginning with “DLC-6” or
• Model numbers ending with a “Y”
The blades on the affected units have four rivets, are silver-colored stainless steel and have a beige plastic center. If you have one of the recalled food processors, you should stop using it and contact Cuisinart for a replacement blade by calling 877-339-2534 or going to the company’s website.
