Leatherman recalls children’s multi-tool
The lock mechanism on the optional knife blade can inadvertently release the blade, posing a laceration hazard.
Leatherman recalled about 8,400 of its Leap multi-tool in the United States and Canada because the lock mechanism on the optional knife blade can inadvertently release the blade, posing a laceration hazard.
Designed for users age nine and up, the multi-tool has a green, blue or red plastic casing with two screws, one on each handle of the tool. It consists of combination needlenose and regular pliers, wire cutters, wood saw, ruler, tweezers, soda bottle opener, optional 420HC (high carbon stainless steel) knife blade, scissors, phillips screwdriver, and small and medium slotted screwdrivers.
No injuries have been reported. For more information, go the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
