Positec Recalls Blue Ridge Utility Knives Due to Laceration Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Target

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

The hazard

The recalled utility knife can become unlocked and the blade can protrude only while in the original packaging, posing a laceration hazard.

What to do

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.
