Trudeau Garlic Duo Slicers Recalled Due to Laceration Hazard

Trudeau Corporation is recalling Garlic Duo Slicers because the slicer blades can break during use, posing a laceration hazard to users.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (laceration hazard) where the source text does not explicitly state that injuries have been reported, only that blade breakage occurred. This aligns with the rubric for High severity (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).

Plain-English summary

Trudeau Corporation is recalling approximately 22,000 units of the Trudeau Garlic Duo Slicers. The product is a combination garlic press and slicer. The recalled model numbers 998009, 998010, or 998010CB were printed on the product's packing card, hang tag, or UPC label, but not on the product itself. The units have "Trudeau" embossed on the handle.

The recall is being issued because the garlic duo's slicer blades can break during use, posing a laceration hazard to users. The firm has received four reports of the product's slicer blades breaking. No injuries or illnesses were reported in the source text.

The recalled products were sold at Department and retail stores nationwide for about $20.
