ACCC Recalls Kmart and Target Portable Blender Over Self-Activation Injury Risk

Australia's consumer watchdog acted after reports the device can power on in water, exposing blades.

Overview

  • The recall covers white, blue, green and lilac portable blenders sold in-store and online between January 23 and September 3, 2025.
  • Regulators warn the unit may start without the ON/OFF button being pressed if the base is immersed in water.
  • Injuries have been reported, with authorities highlighting the risk of lacerations from exposed blades.
  • Consumers are urged to stop using the blender immediately, keep it away from water and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  • Shoppers who cannot return the item or who sold or gifted it are instructed to contact the retailer; the blenders were manufactured in China.
