Do you have this in your kitchen? Be careful, they are phasing it out. It could explode.
A blender sold worldwide has just been recalled over concerns the metal blades could crack and the device could ignite on its own.
Blender is a trendy gadget, but it can be unlucky
Portable blenders have become very popular, which is directly related to the fashion for a healthy lifestyle. And this fact is very pleasing. No wonder that the demand for this type of portable blender has increased. However, sometimes it happens that even devices from the most renowned brand may turn out to be defective and the entire series may be withdrawn from sale. It’s not as rare as we think. A series of “exploding” blenders happened in one of the Australian towns. This time, it was BlendJet2 portable blender, equipped with a lithium-ion battery.
Product Safety Australia has stated that products with serial numbers on the underside of the base of the appliance ranging from 5201000000To5542999999 may have this type of defect.
The metal blades may break during use of the blender. The blender may overheat and catch fire while charging. There is a risk of serious injury from choking or laceration if broken pieces of the blade are mixed with food and eaten. Injuries have occurred.
– we read in the withdrawal announcement.
The recalled blender was available for sale from October 1, 2020 to November 1, 2023. It was sold in brick-and-mortar stores and many online, so it’s hard to pinpoint who it could have been sold to. In case of doubt, Blendjet blender owners worldwide can contact the manufacturer via a form on the manufacturer’s website.
Such incidents are usually described as a warning – to keep your eyes and ears open and follow the messages of well-known brands as much as possible. Especially if you are the owner of fashionable electronic devices.
