This recall involves the riveted blade in Cuisinart food processors with model numbers that begin with the following: 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, EV-7, EV-10, EV-11, and MP-14.
The model number is located on the bottom of the food processor.
The blades have four rivets and are silver-coloured stainless steel and have a beige plastic centre hub. Only the blades with four rivets in the food processor series noted above are included in this recall. Cuisinart is printed on the front and on the bottom of the food processors.
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 poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
As of November 30, 2016, the company has received 10 reports of cracked or broken riveted blades in Canada, including 2 reports of mouth laceration or tooth injury.
