吉列召回超过8.7万只剃刀,理由是过于锋利
当你试图除掉体毛时,通常会青睐锋利的剃刀。不过吉列(Gillette)的制造失误让刀片有些过于锋利了。
吉列正在召回超过8.7万只具有割伤风险的Venus Simply 3一次性剃刀。公司在美国消费品安全委员会(Consumer Product Safety Commission)发布的声明中表示,由于制造失误,这些剃刀存在刀片错位的情况,会带来更高的割伤风险。
这次召回的共有两款产品:Venus Simply 3一次性剃刀四只装和Daisy 12+1 Venus Simply 3优惠装,其中包含一只免费赠送的Venus Simply 3剃刀。两款的商品条形码编号分别为047400315358和047400300712。
这些受到影响的产品的售卖时间是今年1月至5月。吉列建议消费者立刻停止使用剃刀,联系吉列退回商品,并获取退换凭证。
吉列在声明中表示:“我们要优先确保在私人护理方面信赖我们的数百万女性的安全和信任。尽管我们每月要制造300多万只剃刀,这些产品仅占很小一部分,但我们决定替换任何在对应时间内制造、可能存在风险的Venus Simply 3一次性剃刀。”
召回剃刀的情况实属罕见。一般来说,食品或汽车会由于安全问题被召回。不过,这一年来也有几款儿童商品经历过召回。去年12月,由于担心剂量过大,一款婴儿用布洛芬遭到召回。近两个月后,这家公司又因为同样的理由召回了更多的婴儿用布洛芬。(财富中文网) 译者:严匡正 |
Normally, a sharp razor blade is desirable when you're looking to remove hair from your body. But a manufacturing error at Gillette made the blades a little too sharp.
Gillette is recalling over 87,000 Venus Simply 3 Disposable Razors that present a laceration risk. The company, in an announcement by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, says a manufacturing error resulted in a misalignment of the blades, which presents a higher risk of cuts.
Two products are included in the recall: a Venus Simply 3 Disposable Razor 4-pack and a Daisy 12+1 Venus Simply 3 Bonus Pack which included one free Venus Simply 3 razor. The packages carry the UPC codes 047400315358 and 047400300712 respectively.
Affected products were sold from January through May of this year. Consumers are being advised to immediately stop using the razors and contact Gillette to return the razors and receive a voucher for a replacement.
"Our priority is the safety and confidence of the millions of women who trust us with their personal care needs," Gillette said in a statement. "While this is a very small amount out of over 3 million razors produced each month, we have decided to replace any potentially impacted Venus Simply 3 disposable razors produced during this limited timeframe."
Razor recalls are rare. More typically, food products and autos are recalled due to safety issues. Several children's products have been recalled over the past year, though. Last December infant ibuprofen was recalled over concerns the dosage was too strong. Nearly two months later, the same company recalled more ibuprofen for the same reason. |
