Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210213-45F42-2147365907. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Cuisinart CCO-50BKN Deluxe Electric Can Opener. Source model text: SCO-60 (BN). Incident: I have twice found curved slivers of metal in my food after using the Cuisinart Stainless Steel Can Opener Model SCO-60 (BN). Once was from a can of food (either beans or green chili that I had added to soup), the other was in a can of coffee. Both slivers were about 3/4 inch long and blue-tinged. This opener is less than 3 months old and I bought it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. From the beginning, I was worried because it always leaves a very curved, rough edge on the lid. The edge on the can itself seems clean. I did not think to save the slivers. No one was injured. However, I would definitely have been seriously injured had I not spotted the sliver before ingesting it.
