Conair Corporation has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging some of its Cuisinart food processors come with riveted blades that crack over time and cause portions of the blade to detach.

If you own a Cuisinart food processing machine, you may be entitled to benefits from the class action settlement.

The Cuisinart class action lawsuit alleges that the food processor machines were promoted as functional even though they did not function as advertised. On Dec. 13, 2016, Cuisinart recalled the blades supplied with certain Cuisinart food processors. A Cuisinart recall class action lawsuit was subsequently filed, and alleged violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, and breach of express and implied warranties.

“On December 13, 2016, Conair announced a recall and instructed the owners of 8 million Cuisinart brand food processors to stop using the primary chopping blade included with the machine immediately,” the Cuisinart class action lawsuit says.

“Owners were instructed to contact the company for replacement blades, but months later — long after when many owners would have used the machines to prepare holiday meals — Cuisinart owners are still waiting for replacement blades.”

The plaintiffs claim that they would have paid far less for the Cuisinart machines if they had known that they would be instructed to shelve the product for six or more months.

Conair denies any wrongdoing or liability but has agreed to settle the Cuisinart food processor blade class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and risk of litigation.

Class Members who would like to opt out of or object to the Cuisinart blade settlement must do so no later than Feb. 26, 2018.
