The product, in the report: “Veggie Pasta - Vegetable Spiral Cutter” hand-held, hand-powered device
Dear Consumer Safety Commission,
I’m a bit freaked out after nearly swallowing a small blade which has compiled me to write you tonight.
Earlier today (02/07/2016), I purchased a new “Veggie Pasta - Vegetable Spiral Cutter” manufacturer Tekno Products Inc, Rutherford, NJ 07070 from TjMaxx (on Washington Street, Boston 02109).
I used the product as intended to make zucchini pasta for the first time tonight. It wasn’t until I sat down to eat that I realized one of the two blades, the size of razor blade, had snapped off the device, and was my dinner.
The product did not break, it simply fall apart. There are small clips that keep the blade in place but these were insufficient to secure the blades to the device. I also found a similar size plastic piece of the device which has also snapped off. Both pieces are very small and are clearly dangerous capable of causing serious injury if inadvertently eaten.
Please keep me posted on the actions you take to remove this product from the market. For my part, I am going to write TjMaxx and Tekno to notify them of the issue.
Sincerely,
Whitney
