Danger! Danger! Danger! We have a Cuisinart mini Prep and the blade broke at two rivet points, while chopping onions, smashed a hole in the container and flew across the room. Thank goodness our five and a half year old granddaughter wasn't with Grandma when this happened. This is a serious problem. I am very concerned about the safety of the users of this product. Yes! Cuisinart just suggests that you buy a new blade and bowl. This is a product safety issue. I have made a complaint to the Consumer Product Safety Commission! This product is a potential killer!!!!!!!!!
