On May 25, 2011, Wal-Mart stores issued a recall for a GE branded 14 cup food processor marketed exclusively for sale at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The voluntary recall was issued after 24 reports of the food processor operating without the lid on it. The product is supposed to have an interlock system that prevents it from operating when the safety lid is not in place. There were also 34 reports of the unit smoking and 3 reports of fires.
