The product, in the report: Kitchen Air Food Processor Model: KFP1319BM 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit
I have a KitchenAid food processor that I have been using for about three months. I use it almost daily for grating cheese, slicing vegetables and mixing/making sauces; all normal use for which it’s intended. I just noticed that at the bottom of the food feeder tube on the lid of the food processor, pieces of plastic have chipped off. Because this is the tube that food goes through and into the main bowl of the food processor, this means that pieces of plastic have been going into the main bowl and into my food. I have contacted Kitchen Aid through an online chat and they said I can purchase a new lid and that they took my report.

The product, in the report: Kitchenaid KFP1318ER 13 cup food processor
While using my brand-new Kitchenaid model no. KFP1318ER food processor for the first time. I was cutting cabbage using the externally adjustable slicing blade that comes standard with this appliance. After successfully slicing cabbage for 10 minutes I opened the lid and found that a spring had popped out of the mounting stem for this part. The retaining nut for the part wound up mixed into the food the machine had processed. This could have been ingested by someone if I had not noticed. Furthermore, this cutting disc is very sharp and rotates a high rate of speed. If the discbreaksloose if could result in injury.

The product, in the report: KitchenAid 7 Cup Food Processor, model KFP715WH2, Household Food Processor, serial number WH32601448. I’ve attempted to contact the manufacturer, but have been unable to as according to KitchenAid, the model doesn’t exist.
I own a KitchenAid food processor (model KFP715WH2) and was using it under normal circumstances (shredding lettuce). Despite following all instructions about locking the cover after locking the work bowl, the piece that holds the work bowl on snapped off during use, popping the lid off and sending the slicing disc out of the food processor.

The product, in the report: KitchenAid Foor Processor MOD: KFP715WH2 SER: WH04878819
Concerns: KitchenAid unsafe food processor MOD: KFP715WH2 SER: WH04878819 I own a KitchenAid food processor which I was satisfied with until last week when my top finger and part of my nail was chopped. While top part was removed the on button was accidentally pushed and the unit started, my finger was too close to the blade of the slicing disc & cut my left index. You would think that quality product such as KitchenAid would have a reliable security on their unit to prevent these types of injuries while the top part is removed. Unfortunately, it turns out that I was wrong thinking that, luckily the injury is not as serious as it could have been.

The product, in the report: KitchenAid food processor, model KFP1330CUO serial #WH32613833.
I purchased a KitchenAid food processor, Model KFP1330, on February 1, 2014. The unit did not grate mozzarella cheese - it would clump. On July 25, I followed suggestions to freeze the cheese first for a short time to firm it up so that it would grate. It did grate the first portion of the cheese but when it came to the end of the piece, it balled up and the cover of the processor flew up into the air. This means that it disengaged from a locked position. I gave it another try, and the same thing happened. Shaken because of a near miss to my head, I phoned the customer service number and explained my problem. The supervisor was quick to decide to send me a replacement bowl and top. I have not received these and have been without the processor for eight weeks.

Emergency room Made Mar 14, 2014, sent to the company Apr 11, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 25, 2014
The product, in the report: Nine cup exact slice food processor, item number K40147
March 4, 2014
QVC Customer Service 1200 Wilson Drive at Studio Park West Chester, PA 19380
KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center P.O. Box 218 St. Joseph, M149085
To whom it may concern:
On or about January 16, 2014, I purchased, through QVC, a KitchenAid nine cup exact slice food processor, item number K40147. I received delivery of the food processor on January 22, 2014. That evening, while removing the food processor from its packing materials, I attempted to remove a piece of clear plastic sealing tape which was affixed to a [REDACTED] insert and the user’s manual. While removing the tape, one of the blades located within the [REDACTED] insert fell out of the insert, slicing my right hand. I required immediate emergency care at the local hospital where I received five stitches to close the laceration. The ER physician recommended that I see an orthopedic surgeon due to the severity of the laceration.
On January 24, 2014 I met with the surgeon who concluded I likely injured a nerve or a tendon in the hand. He recommended surgery.
On February 24, 2014, I had the surgery performed. Regrettably, the laceration severed three nerves in my hand. I currently require a brace on my hand. After the stitches are removed, I will commence physical therapy, hopefully to regain functionality in my dominant hand. I have been advised that I will need the brace for at least four to six weeks. Presently, I am unable to write, button my shirts, tie my shoes, zip pants and jackets or perform any every-day tasks with my right hand. I have incurred medical bills and will continue to do so.
I am writing to you for two reasons: first, to advise you of what is a defect in the packaging of the food processor. I realized after the fact that two of the food processor blades were placed within round holes which were cut out of the [REDACTED] insert. Each blade was seated in a clear plastic round cup. Neither blade was secured properly; nor did the two blades include any protective covering . Please accept this letter as notice of the defect described herein.
{!00940199.DOC; v.}
Please refer this letter to your risk manager or the equivalent and have that individual contact me directly. At a minimum, I would expect you to pay the medical bills relating to treatment received for injuries sustained in this most unfortunate incident.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Very truly yours, [REDACTED]
