Dangerous to even own
Do not buy this product. After I received it of course I opened it up, assembled it and tested it out. It was rough going and crudely built but I figured I'd give it a try anyway after I washed it out with soap to get rid of the manufacturing chemical smells. I disassembled the grinder and soaked all the parts in hot water and dishwashing soap overnight in a large plastic bowl. The next morning the water was a yellowish color and when I dumped out the water there were all kinds of metal particles in the bottom of the bowl and all the parts were rusted where the tin had worn off. The tin coating had clearly flaked off in the threads and any other area that had rubbed in the few minutes that I had tried it out and would have gone into my food had I actually been grinding anything. Also the blade was rusted and the grinder plate was heavily rusted. Between the future metal particles in my food, the instant rust, the rough mechanical operation and the yellow (toxic plating?) chemicals on the metal I never even used it on food and am instead trying to return it as I don't even want this thing in my house. As far as I am concerned this thing should not even be on the market and I pray for the people who are eating metal flakes in their food without even knowing it. I hope I don't have any problems returning this product and getting my money back. Follow up: I have been searching Amazon for a way to contact them that in my opinion this product is unsafe to public health and should not even be sold on this site as Amazon may also become liable for health damage claims but so far I have not been able to find a way to contact them about this.
