When the safety cutoff switch on the lid does not activate, consumers' fingers can be severely injured if their hand is placed into the mixing bowl. CPSC and Creative Technologies are aware of 11 incidents of the machine unexpectedly turning on, resulting in nine injuries including cut, crushed and severed fingers. Only pasta machines that have serial numbers up to 78209 are subject to this replacement program. The model and serial numbers are located on a label on the bottom of the machine. The pasta machines are beige or white.
Some machines have chrome-plated front panels.
Through this voluntary recall, Creative Technologies will provide consumers with a replacement lid. The machines are sold in cardboard boxes identifying the model of the machine. A photograph of the machine is on the front of the box. The company will help consumers determine whether their pasta machine is subject to this replacement program and, if necessary, will provide a free replacement lid. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protects the public from the unreasonable risk of injury or death from 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.
