Gerber Legendary Blades Recalls Machetes Due to Laceration Hazard
Product Description
This recall involves the Gerber Gator Machete and Gator Machete Jr. with the original handle (see picture). The Gator Machete is approximately 25 1/2" long and the Machete Jr. is approximately 18 3/4" long. The blade is marked with the "Gerber" trademark. The Gator Machete and Machete Jr. with a modified handle (an extended hand guard) are not included in this recall (see picture). Consumers should visually inspect their machete to determine if it is included in this recall.
Reason for Recall
The saw side of the machete can stick in wood during use, and if the user's hand slips off the handle and slides forward across the machete blade, this poses a laceration hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled machetes immediately and contact Gerber to receive instructions on how to return the machete for a free replacement machete.
