CPSC, General Binding Corp. Announce Recall of Paper Shredders

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

These paper shredders do not have a protective shield to guard against exposure to the cutting blades. Consumers could lift the paper shredder lid while it is running and come into contact with the turning blades. Consumers could suffer cuts or amputations of finger tips, if they touch the turning blades.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled paper shredders immediately, and call GBC to receive a free replacement paper shredder or a refund.
