Wal-Mart Recalls 255,000 GE Food Processors
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Wal-Mart Stores Inc (NYSE:WMT), announced the voluntary recall of about 255,000 Food Processor units manufactured by General Electric (NYSE:GE).The agency said there is a problem with the safety interlock system on the food processor. It allows the operation of the product without the lid secured which poses a laceration hazard. In addition, the product can emit smoke, or catch fire, posing a fire hazard.Wal-Mart has received 58 total incident reports: 24 reports of the processor operating without the lid in place which resulted in 21 injuries to fingers, and 34 reports of the unit smoking, including 3 reports of fires.The product is manufactured in China and was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide and Walmart.com from September 2009 through February 2011 for a retail price of about $50.Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled food processor and return the product to any Wal-Mart for a full refund.Shares of Wal-Mart Stores are trading down 0.66% at $54.42.
