Walmart Recalls 255,000 GE Food Processors

Walmart recalled 255,000 GE food processors today after reports of consumers getting hurt after the safety lock on the lid failed, said the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The 14-cup, General Electric food processors were sold exclusively in Walmart stores nationwide and online from September 2009 through February 2011 for about $50 each.

The CPSC said the safety interlock system can fail and allow the food processor to operate without the lid being locked in place, creating a laceration hazard. The agency said the food processor can also smoke and catch fire.
