BlendJet Recalls 4.8 Million Blenders Over Safety Concerns

Company offers free replacements after reports of broken blades, overheating and fires

BlendJet Inc. is recalling about 4.8 million of its BlendJet 2 Portable Blenders due to laceration and fire hazards.
The company has received 329 reports of the blender’s blades breaking while in use, 17 reports of overheating or fires resulting in about $150,000 in property damage claims, 49 reports of minor burn injuries and one laceration injury.
The recalled blenders were sold at Costco, Walmart, Target and other retailers nationwide as well as online from October 2020 through November 2023.
BlendJet is offering a free base unit replacement for the recalled blenders. Consumers will need to remove and cut up the base’s rubber seal and email or upload a photo to the company's website to receive the replacement.
BlendJet 2 blenders with serial numbers that begin with numbers “5543” or higher are not under recall, as they have updated components.
