Progressive International Recalls Canning Jar Lifters Due to Laceration Hazard
Hazard
The jar lifter handle can detach over time due to a missing stainless steel core in the hinge. This can cause the tongs to fail to grip and allow a jar being lifted to fall, posing a laceration hazard to the user.
