Conair has recalled about 66,000 Cuisinart Compact Blender & Juice Extractor Combos (Model CBJ-450) because the nut holding the blender blade assembly can loosen and detach during use. The firm has received three reports of the blade detaching while the blender was running, including one incident where the blade punctured the blender container. These units were sold nationwide at stores including Crate & Barrel, Macy's, Kohl's, and online at Amazon.com from November 2021 through August 2022 for about $80.
The blender blade assembly can detach from the base while the unit is in use, posing a risk of serious cuts or lacerations if a consumer comes into contact with the loose, moving blade. One reported incident involved the blade breaking through the blender container.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blender part of the compact blender and juice extractor combos and contact Conair for a free replacement blade assembly. Consumers will receive instructions on how to install the replacement blade assembly after discarding the existing blade assembly, and after verifying disposal of the existing blade assembly. No tools are needed, and the new assembly can be inserted into the unit in the identical manner that the original assembly was in accordance with the operating instructions that the consumer received when the product was purchased. The juice extractor is unaffected and may continue to be used.
Model number is printed on the label located on the bottom of the base and on the original packaging. The juice extractor is unaffected.
