Blender blunder? Vitamix is recalling over a thousand blenders

Vitamix announced on Monday that it will recall roughly 105,000 blenders after multiple consumers cut their hands on the blades.

The company stated on its website, “Vitamix has received 11 reports of lacerations when consumers’ hands came in contact with exposed blades.” This occurs after the main portion of the blender is separated for cleaning, consequently exposing the blades at the bottom.

The two blenders that Vitamix is recalling are the Ascent and Venturist, which will be marked as “03-18” on the blade itself. Customers should ensure that the blender they buy reveals a date after this so as to avoid any potential harm.

Vitamix is private, so it’s unclear how this will affect business or consumer image, but it likely won’t harm them. Similar to CVS and their nasal spray recall, the company dealt with it quickly and smoothly to avoid any major publicity. In addition, they owned up to their mistake and made the changes as soon as they heard the news.

When buying products, remember that even major manufacturers make mistakes. It’s always imperative to be aware of any potential design or manufacturing flaws when using products.
