Faulty machetes unfit for zombie apocalypse

By Around the Web

(Orlando Sentinel) Sorry, zombie hunters. Your weak-handled machetes from China are too dangerous.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and machete-maker Gerber Legendary Blades this week announced a voluntary recall of about 119,000 machetes, including ones marketed to zombie killers.

The problem is a weakness in the area where the handle meets the blade.

That could cause the handle or the blade to break during use, “posing a laceration hazard,” the recall message said.
