Around 146,000 disposals from Anaheim Manufacturing in the U.S. and 2,700 in Canada were recalled Tuesday, following an announcement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Anaheim Manufacturing is a major supplier of kitchen appliances.
“A metal component inside the disposal can break off and come out of the disposal during use, posing an impact hazard,” the recall notice states.
