Cuisinart Food Processors Recall 2016: Full List Of Models Affected; Can You Get A Refund For Faulty Blades?

About 8 million Cuisinart food processors have been voluntarily recalled because parts of the kitchen appliance's blades could become broken off into food. The mass recall involves dozens of models sold between July 1996 and December 2015.

"The food processor’s riveted blade can crack over time and small, metal pieces of the blade can break off into the processed food," the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in announcing the recall Tuesday. "This poses a laceration hazard to consumers."

Cuisinart's parent company, Conair, has gotten at least 69 reports of people finding blades in their food, with at least 30 of those resulting in an injury.

There was no immediate announcement of the company offering a refund.

Cuisinart food processors have become the latest product that could make for a holiday gift to be recalled by the CPSC this week. A chicken toy that could pose a choking threat and a hoverboard that could spontaneously catch fire were both recalled by the agency on Tuesday. A popular candle brand had tens of thousands of its units recalled last week because they could cause lacerations.

In perhaps a show of the amount of confidence the company has in its signature product, Cuisinart was still including food processors on its holiday gift guide. The homepage of the company's website includes a video demonstration for how to use a food processor.

The Cuisinart was first manufactured and mass produced in 1973 after Carl G. Sontheimer created it out of inspiration to improve the blender.
