Wal-Mart is recalling 255,000 General Electric food processors sold from September 2009 through February 2011. The safety interlock system on the recalled food processor can fail; allowing operation without the lid secured. The defect poses a laceration hazard. The product can also emit smoke or catch fire, posing a fire hazard.
The food processors affected by the recall are GE-branded digital, 14-cup food processors. They are black with stainless steel trim, and model number 169203 is imprinted on the underside of the unit.
So far, the company has received a total of 58 incident reports, including 24 reports of the food processor operating without the lid in place, of which 21 resulted in injuries to fingertips; and 34 reports of the unit smoking. Three of those incidents resulted in fires.
The food processor was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide and Walmart.com for about $50. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled food processor.
