Cuisinart food processors recalled
More than 8 million Cuisinart food processors were recalled Tuesday due to a risk of lacerations.

If you're making food for those holiday parties, this might be a problem.

Cuisinart is recalling 8,000,000 of its food processors because there's a problem with the blade.

The food processor's riveted blade can crack over time and small, metal pieces of the blade can break off into the processed food which poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
