Hamilton Beach is recalling baby food processors because use of the sliding/shredding disc with the motor shaft adapter can cause the stainless steel pin in the food bowl lid to loosen and fall into the food. The recall is for bébé brand baby food makers that were manufactured in China. They were sold at Buy Buy Baby stores nationwide, through specialty distributor Victor Co. Inc. and online at Buybuybaby.com, Hamiltonbach.com and Walmart.com from September 2013 through February 2014 for about $90.00
The recalled product is a small food processor with a white and gray motor base and an orange control knob. The bowl is clear-plastic with a five cup capacity, and a gray colored food bowl lid with a built-in food chute. “Hamilton Beach” and “bébé” are on the front of the motor base. The processor comes with a chopping and mixing blade, a slicing and shredding disc, a removable motor shaft adapter, a food pusher, a three-cup steaming basket, 10 storage containers, and two storage container caddies.
There have been four reports of the pin becoming loose, including three in which the pin fell into the food. There have been no reports of injuries to date.
If you have this product, stop using the slicing/shredding disc immediately and contact Hamilton Beach to receive a free replacement food bowl lid, motor shaft adapter, and slicing/shredding disc. Contact Hamilton Beach at 800-672-5872 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm ET. About 790 appliances in the U.S. and 3,100 in Canada are being recalled.
