Bear-Grylls-Parang-Recall

Gerber is voluntarily recalling our Parang machete, model numbers 31-000698, 31-001507, 31-000986, 31-001111, and 30-0006010, due to safety concerns. A weakness in the area where the handle meets the blade can cause the handle or the blade to break during use, posing a laceration hazard.

Why the recall ? I would have thought that a Bear Grylls product within an inbuilt potential for danger was part of the brand ?

What possible use would the average bushwalker have for an implement like this? But then I suppose the people who take Bear Grylls seriously are the type who would be concerned about a zombie attack.

A zombie attack is ridiculous. Machetes are used in the bush to behead wayward vampires.
