Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20171204-D5DFB-2147394840. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Cuisinart DFP-14BCN. Source model text: DFP-14cny #60706cs. Incident: The blade on my Cuisinart model DFP-14BCNY 14-Cup #60706cs comes detached from the stem when slicing. The blade comes to the top of the lid and has gouged out the top from hitting the lid. If I wasn't quick to stop the machine the bade could crack the top. I have been in communication with Cuisinart several times. The machine has been sent back twice and the problem is still not fixed. Cuisinart has issued a call tag for the third time I will be sending the machine back to them. I have asked for a refund. I do believe that there is no current fix for this machine. It appears to be an issue with the stem and blade not keeping contact. I have owned another Cuisinart food processor that was 35 years old with no difficulty. [REDACTED]
