A recall was issued Tuesday for 8 million Cuisinart food processors after nearly 70 reports of broken blades.

Thirty people have reported mouth lacerations or tooth injuries. Consumers with a recalled model should immediately stop using the blade and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement. The appliances that are recalled have four rivets in the blades, which are silver-colored stainless steel with a plastic beige center hub. Look on the bottom of the appliance for the model number.
