Using This Knife May Cut You

Gerber Legendary Blades is recalling 154,000 knives made in...wait for it....China.

The company, a division of scissors maker Fiskars that is not affiliated with the baby food company, says that its Exchange-A-Blade pocket knives have a manufacturing defect.

The recall involves Gerber EAB Pocket Knives, model numbers 22-41548, 22-41548CDIP, 22-01548W and 22-41548W. Consumer should stop using the knife immediately and contact Gerber for a new knife. Calls are toll free at (877) 204-5510 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
