Vitamix Blender Containers Recalled After 11 People Injured By Exposed Blade

Vitamix announced last week that they are recalling blender containers after 11 people reported lacerations as a result of an exposed blade. The recall affects approximately 105,000 of the Ascent and Venturist 8-ounce and 20-ounce containers made in March 2018 or earlier. The products were sold at Costco and Williams-Sonoma and on Vitamix’s website between April 2017 and July 2018. If you believe you may have purchased one of the affected containers, you should stop using it immediately. Look for the date — which is etched on the blade in a MM-YY format — to find out if your container was manufactured before March 2018. If you do have one of the containers, call the company for a free repair kit at 888-847-8842. Flickr | JeepersMediaIf you want to skip conducting your own inve...
