Hamilton Beach Brands of Glen Allen, Va., is recalling about 4,000 baby food processors in the U.S and Canada.
Use of the slicing/shredding disc with the motor shaft adapter can cause the stainless steel pin in the food bowl lid to loosen and fall into processed food.
The company has received four reports of the stainless steel pin in the food bowl lid becoming loose, including three in which the pin fell into processed food. There have been no reports of injuries or property damage.
This recall involves bebe brand baby food makers manufactured by Hamilton Beach. The baby food maker is a small food processor with a white and gray motor base, an orange control knob, a clear plastic, five-cup food bowl and a gray-colored food bowl lid with a built-in food chute. “Hamilton Beach” and “bebe” are on the front of the motor base.
The food maker comes with the following accessories: 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.
The food processors, manufactured in China, were sold at Buy Buy Baby stores nationwide, through specialty distributor Victor Co. Inc. and online at Buybuybaby.com, Hamiltonbeach.com and Walmart.com from September 2013, through February 2014, for about $90.
Consumers should immediately stop using the slicing/shredding disc and contact Hamilton Beach to receive a free replacement food bowl lid, motor shaft adapter and slicing/shredding disc. Consumers may continue to use the baby food maker for steaming, chopping and pureeing.
Consumers may contact Hamilton Beach at (800) 672-5872 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
