How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 27, 2015, sent to the company Apr 6, 2015, published by CPSC Apr 20, 2015

    The product, in the report: Salton Coffee Grinder Model #GC-6. The product brochure (which I have) states it grinds coffee, nuts and spices.

    My daughter found a piece of metal, measuring about 1/4” in a cake I baked. I had ground almonds in my coffee/nut grinder and found that a piece of the metal blade had broken off into the nuts and were baked in the cake. The product is a Salton Coffee Grinder Model #GC-6. Fortunately she discovered the metal in her mouth and didn’t swallow it. I am writing to report this problem so this problem doesn’t happen to another person.

    I can provide a photo of the broken blade if you provide an email address.
