Calphalon Knives Recall — Here’s What You Need To Know

Calphalon is recalling 2 million knives because the blades have been breaking away from the handles and cutting people, the company says.

So far, the company has received 27 reports of finger or hand lacerations, including four cuts that were so serious they required stitches, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. Calphalon has also heard 3,150 reports of broken knives.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cutlery and contact Calphalon for a replacement cutlery product,” according to the safety commission’s website.

If you’ve had a problem with one of these Calphalon knives, let them know about it on the safety commission’s webpage about the recall.

According to the safety commission, roughly 2 million knives in the U.S. and 7,000 sold in Canada are affected by the recall, which involves carving, chef, paring, santoku and utility knives sold between August 2008 and March 2016.

The knives were sold individually and in sets at J.C. Penney, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Amazon and other stores. They ranged in price from $25 to $300.

Though Calphalon is headquartered in Atlanta, the knives were made in China, according to the safety commission.
