Why was Mueller Knife Handle recalled?
Becton Dickinson and Company, is conducting a voluntary recall on the V. MuellerTM 3H Knife Handles catalog number listed in the table above. BD has been informed by our supplier that the external threads on some of the collets (Figure 1) contain a machining burr, potentially causing the collet to not fully seat in the knife handle (Figure 2), inhibiting complete grip of the inserted knife blade possibly resulting in a loose blade.
