KitchenAid Announce Recall to Repair Food Processors

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, KitchenAid Home Appliances, of Benton Harbor, Mich., is voluntarily recalling about 220,000 food processors for repair. A cap on the blade unit can dislodge during use. When dislodged, the cap can get mixed in with food, presenting a choking hazard.

KitchenAid estimates that there have been 30 incidents of the cap becoming dislodged into food. Two of the reports involved consumers starting to choke on the cap.

The recall involves KitchenAid 5-cup and 7-cup food processors sold under the model names Little Classic, Little Ultra Power and 7-Cup Ultra Power. KitchenAid is on the front and bottom of the unit. The model name is on the side of the unit. The recalled units can be identified by their model and serial numbers, which are located on the bottom of the unit. Recalled units have model numbers beginning with KFP300, 4KFP300 and RRKFP300, KFP350, 4KFP350 and RRKFP350 and KFP450 and RRKFP450. The serial numbers begin with WJG, WJH, WJI, WJJ, and WJK00 to WJK33. The food processors are white, almond cream, blue, red, green, yellow or black. They are made in France and are UL listed.

Department, mass merchandise, and specialty stores nationwide sold these food processors from April 1997 through August 2000.

Consumers should stop using these food processor models immediately and contact KitchenAid to receive a free replacement blade unit.
