Juice Giant Electric Juicers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The CPSC and Singer Sewing Company recalled approximately 767,000 "Juice Giant Electric Juicers," models 774 and 774B, due to a hazard involving the strainer basket. The strainer baskets on these models can break apart during use, which can also cause the juicer's plastic upper cover to break. When this happens, broken pieces of the strainer basket and plastic cover may be ejected from the juicer with enough force to injure people nearby. These juicers were imported from China and sold nationwide in retail stores between October 1991 and December 1993 for approximately $60. As of the recall announcement, 24 incidents of the strainer basket breaking had been reported, resulting in at least 17 injuries.
According to the recall notice, consumers who own models 774 or 774B should stop using the juicer immediately and discard or destroy it. The recall record states that Singer Sewing Company is no longer in business and therefore no remedy is available.
