Cuisinart recalls 8M food processors after reports of mouth cuts, tooth injuries

Cuisinart is recalling about eight million food processors in the U.S. The blade in the food processors can crack over time, and small metal pieces can break off into the processed food.

There have been 69 reports of consumers finding broken pieces of the blade, including 30 reports of mouth lacerations or tooth injuries.

The food processors were sold nationwide and on various websites from July 1996 through December 2015.

Consumers should stop using the product and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade.
