Product involved: Hand Held Mixer
What happened: A woman's finger became caught in a hand held electric blender while she was holding the edge of the bowl.
Injuries: Tendon damage to finger
Recommendations: Hand held mixers are relatively low power, but can still maim and injure fingers. Since hand held mixers have an unguarded nip point, distance from the hazard is essential. Deep, heavy bowls that do not require hand stabilization will help deter users from getting near the hazard. Counter top stand mixers do not require stabilization, and use deep bowls to increase the distance to the hazard.
