UPDATE: Onion Chopper Pro Recalled After 137 Injuries Reported
On October 29, 2020, Mueller Austria officially issued a recall for the Onion Chopper Pro (Model M-700) due to “a serious laceration hazard” on the blades.
Mueller Austria reported 266 incidents of the tab breaking, including 137 people who suffered laceration injuries to their hands and fingers.
Approximately 106,000 recalled Onion Chopper Pro (Model #M-700) products were sold on Amazon.com from September 2016 to July 2020. They cost about $20.
Mueller Austria will give consumers a free replacement Onion Chopper Pro that has a newly-designed locking tab that does not need to be pushed towards the blades to lock into place.
Safety Warning: Onion Chopper Pro Linked to Laceration Hazard
In May 2020, Mueller Austria issued a Safety Warning about a laceration hazard for older versions of the Onion Chopper Pro.
The Onion Chopper Pro (Model #M-700) has a locking tab that must be pushed towards the blades in order to properly lock into place.
Unfortunately, the locking tab can detach from the rest of the unit during use, causing hands and fingers to slide into the blades, and resulting in severe lacerations.
Mueller Austria introduced a new onion chopper in December 2019 with a locking tab that does not need to be pushed toward the blades.
