CINCINNATTI - A manufacturer of male grooming products has pulled the plug on its 40-blade Megashave Razor after five deaths were reported in product testing.
"We are saddened by the deaths of these brave product testers," a company news release said. "While the most ambitious undertaking since the release of the five-blade Fusion, we were probably too hasty in releasing this product."
The 40-blade Megashave Razor was also difficult to handle, weighing in at close to 10 pounds.
The company has decided to concentrate on developing a more user-friendly razor with less blades, the company said.
Families of the deceased testers will receive free razors and shaving gel for the rest of their lives.
