Smooth Sailing with Your Blender No More?
Nationwide Recall of Nearly 200,000 Blenders over Potential Laceration Risk
Turns out, your trusty blender might not be as safe as you thought. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall for about 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottles sold at Target.
Sound the Alarm! The recall was announced on April 3, 2025, following concerns about the blender's potential to pose a laceration hazard. The scoop? If you're not mindful, the blender's blades can still spin when the bottle's not attached, leading to some nasty cuts.
Selling Spree These controversial blender bottles hit the shelves at Target stores nationwide and online from December 2024 through January 2025 for around a cool $5. If your blender matches the description below, it's time for some due diligence:
- Clear plastic middle
- White plastic base and top
- Printed sticker under the base: "Description: Blender Bottle," "ITEM: ES15-BB-TA" and "MID #5220824"
- Code "MID #5220824" stamped on the base of the bottle
Why the Headache? To ensure you're not in danger, CPSC advises you to cease using your recalled blender bottle right away. Next, contact Sakar International to learn how to secure a full refund for your troublesome appliance. No need to fret about locating your original receipt, as proof isn't required for the refund. Just don't return the recalled product to Target.
Worried about returning the item? Fear not! Sakar International provides a pre-paid return shipping label for your convenience. Once they receive the bottle, they'll foot the bill for your refund. You'll receive your refund in the form of a $5 Target gift card or a check.
