The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves Ascent™ and Venturist™ series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers with blade date codes March 2018 ("03-18") or earlier. Date codes are in the format MM-YY; for example, March 2018 is "03-18." If the blade base is marked on the bottom with a green or orange dot, the container has already been repaired. The Vitamix logo is printed on the blending container. The blade date code is laser-etched onto the top of the blade in the blade base. The products have a clear container and a black blade base and were sold separately and with Vitamix Venturist™ Model 1200 blenders.
- The hazard
- The containers can separate from the blade's base exposing the blades, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
- Injuries
- Vitamix has received 11 reports of lacerations when consumers' hands came in contact with exposed blades.
- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blending containers and contact Vitamix for a free repair kit. Vitamix is sending repair kits to consumers it can identify.
