Check the label first
Compare every letter, number, space and suffix. A similar-looking product with a different suffix may not be part of this recall.
Why it was recalled
The recalled utility knife can become unlocked and the blade can protrude only while in the original packaging, posing a laceration hazard.
The firm has received two reports of the blade protruding in the original packaging, both resulting in laceration injuries.
The official remedy
Consumers should immediately and carefully inspect the packaging containing the Blue Ridge Utility Knife to determine whether the blade tip is protruding through the package. Carefully remove the knife from the packaging, avoiding the blade tip, and discard the packaging. To apply the repair, secure the knife by retracting and locking the knife in the closed position. Once the knife is removed from the packaging, the knife can be used in typical fashion.
