As of today, Walmart has received five reports of lacerations—two of which required medical attention, including stitches. Per the recall notice, consumers were injured while putting the chopper together or while cleaning or handling it.A total of 51,570 Mainstays choppers were sold between Aug. 2022 and Oct. 2023—exclusively in Walmart stores and online—retailing between $10 and $15.
If you have one of these choppers at home, Walmart and the CPSC ask that you"immediately stop using" them and reach out to Walmart for a refund. You can also bring the chopper to your local Walmart store to get your money back. The mugs were pulled due to"burn and laceration hazards" that occurred when the mugs were microwaved or filled with"extremely hot liquid," the notice stated.
