Vitamix is recalling approximately 105,000 Ascent and Venturist series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers. These containers can separate from the black blade base, exposing the sharp blades and causing a risk of serious cuts. Vitamix has received 11 reports of consumers suffering lacerations when their hands came into contact with these exposed blades. These products were sold both separately and bundled with the Vitamix Venturist Model 1200 blender at Costco, Williams-Sonoma, and online between April 2017 and July 2018.
The blending container can detach from its base during or after use, leaving the sharp spinning blades unprotected. This has resulted in 11 reported incidents where consumers cut their hands on the exposed blade assembly.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blending containers and contact Vitamix for a free repair kit. Vitamix is sending repair kits to consumers it can identify.
