Gerber recalls Cohort folding knives with model numbers ending in E or F due to laceration risk from locking mechanism failure. Consumers must stop using and return for replacement.
The locking mechanism can fail to hold the blade, posing a laceration hazard.
Gerber is recalling Cohort folding knives that can cause lacerations if the locking mechanism fails. This recall affects specific model numbers and product date codes ending with 'E' or 'F'.
The locking mechanism can fail to hold the blade securely when the knife is fully extended, potentially causing the blade to slip and cause a laceration. This hazard occurs during normal use when the knife is opened and closed repeatedly.
Owners of Cohort knives with model numbers ending in 'E' or 'F' (as indicated by the product date code) are affected. Anyone using these knives for self-defense or cutting tasks is at higher risk.
Check the product date code on the blade, beneath the thumb stud on the clip side. The last character of this code must be 'E' or 'F' to be affected. Model numbers ending with 'E' or 'F' (as listed in the recall) are also affected.
Immediately stop using the Cohort knife and do not attempt to repair it yourself.
Reach out to Gerber directly to arrange a replacement for the recalled model.
Consumers should stop using the knife and contact Gerber for a replacement.
