An electric mini chopper sold exclusively at Walmart is being recalled because the chopper’s blade poses a laceration hazard. A recall was issued for about 51,750 units of Mainstays Electric Mini Choppers because the blade can operate unexpectedly during assembly or when not enclosed in the container, posing a laceration hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The steamers, which sell for between $14 and $23, have been recalled due to a burn hazard posed by the product spraying or leaking hot water during use, according to the CPSC. An initial recall of more than 500,000 units was issued in November 2022, and Empower Brands has since received 317 reports of hot water shooting from the steamers. They have gotten 82 reports of burn injuries, seven of which were more severe second-degree burns.
