Empower Brands has recalled about 469,000 PowerXL Self-Cleaning Juicers (with an additional 10,900 sold in Canada), including models SHL96 and SHL90-SC. These brushed stainless steel countertop juicers can rupture during use or leave small particle shavings in the juice, posing laceration and ingestion hazards. There have been 261 reports of incidents, including 47 injuries such as severe cuts requiring stitches and ingestion of particles needing medical attention. The juicers were sold nationwide at retailers like Walmart, BJ's Wholesale Club, and Target between September 2020 and August 2022 for between $65 and $100.
The juicers can break apart during operation, striking users and causing severe lacerations, or they can shed shavings into the juice that pose a choking or internal injury hazard if swallowed. Reports include severe cuts needing emergency medical care and ingestion of small particles.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled PowerXL Self-Cleaning Juicers and contact Empower Brands to receive a full refund.
