BlendJet Recalls 4.8 Million Portable Blenders Due to Fire and Laceration Hazards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has shared a recall from BlendJet that affects its personal blenders. This recall may sound familiar because it’s not new—the original announcement was made in December 2023. However, with BlendJet in the news again, we wanted to share the facts and hopefully quell any concerns about recent Christmas presents.

If you received (or gifted) a BlendJet product over the holidays, that item should be safe. This recall only affects blenders sold from October 2020 through November 2023. We think the ongoing recall has made its way back to the news cycle because BlendJet’s contact information has changed.

Here’s what you need to know about the BlendJet 2 recall.

Why is BlendJet being recalled?

BlendJet discovered that the units can overheat or catch fire, and the blender blades can break off, posing all kinds of hazards to unsuspecting consumers. The company received 329 reports of the blades breaking while in use, plus an additional 17 reports of overheating or fires. (The latter issue resulted in property damage claims of approximately $150,000.)

What BlendJet models have been recalled?

This recall affects BlendJet 2 portable blenders sold in all different colors. To determine whether your blender is affected, check the base for the text “blendjet 2” and “The Original Portable Blender.”

Then, look at the serial number. Units with the first four digits of the serial number between 5201 and 5542 are subject to the recall.

How do I know if my BlendJet is recalled?

To see whether you have a recalled unit, head to blendjet.com/safetyandrecall and enter the serial number of your unit in the “Is my BlendJet 2 Recalled?” tool. You can also email the serial number to BlendJet at [email protected].

What should I do next?

Stop using any recalled BlendJet products immediately. Then, contact BlendJet to receive a free replacement base unit. You’ll need to remove and cut the rubber seal from the base of your recalled blender into three or more pieces. Then, upload or email a photo showing the serial number on the bottom of the unit and its rubber seal in pieces to BlendJet. This means you won’t have a blender for the amount of time it takes BlendJet to provide a replacement.

Hold on to the blender’s jar and top because BlendJet is only providing a replacement base. You’ll need to keep your jar to be able to use the blender once you receive that replacement.
