CBSN
Vitamix is recalling more than half a million blending containers and blade bases sold at retailers nationwide after reports of more than two dozen lacerations, according to a notice posted Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall involves all Ascent and Venturist Series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases, including those repaired as part of a prior recall in August 2018. The containers can separate from the blender's blade base, which can then expose the blades and create a laceration hazard, according to the Cleveland, Ohio-based manufacturer.
About 569,000 of the containers and blade bases were sold by retailers including Best Buy, Costco, Crate & Barrel, Macy's, Target, Walmart and Williams Sonoma and online at Amazon, QVC and Vitamix from April 2017 through May 2024. The recalled products sold for between $30 and $990 for the blender and blending containers when sold with other products.
