Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 incorrect blade orientation recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all incorrect blade orientation recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
Beaver Visitec International is recalling the Xstar Safety Slit Knife Model 378227 because some units have the blade bevel installed incorrectly—facing downward instead of the intended upward orientation.
One lot of Xstar Kojo Safety Slit Knife contains inverted blades (bevel down instead of bevel up). The 2160 affected units from lot 6049877 were distributed internationally, including to Japan.
