Emergency room Made Mar 7, 2014, sent to the company Mar 18, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 8, 2014
The product, in the report: The Chef’s Envy V food slicer was developed in Germany and has triple tempered surgical stainless steel blades. (The Chef’s Envy is available in both black and white.)
This product is extremely dangerous. We purchased this product at Fry’s Food Store as part of a Fry’s promotional piece which was announced over the loud speaker. The person arrived to give everyone free gifts and then proceeded with a presentation--- he used the slicer with his hands. We asked the Chef if this slicer was safe for children--he responded that it was very safe. I purchased the slicer for my 14 year old daughter. Upon arriving home, I attempted to use it on a tomato to demonstrate to her how to use it and---- within seconds---I suffered a severe laceration to my right thumb. I was rushed to the ER---there was blood everywhere.
The injury resulted in 5 stitches and doctor ordered absolutely no use of the hand for three (3) days.
I have googled this product and noticed there are several similar incidents on the internet--also with photos. The ER mentioned that they had also stitched-up other victims who tried this slicer.
