Recalled Vitamix Ascent Series and Venturist Series 8-ounce Blending Container
Check the label first
Compare every letter, number, space and suffix. A similar-looking product with a different suffix may not be part of this recall.
Why it was recalled
The containers can separate from the blade base, exposing the blades, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
Vitamix has received 27 reports of lacerations, including 11 reports from the prior 2018 recall, when consumers' hands came in contact with exposed blades.
The official remedy
All consumers, including consumers who participated in the 2018 recall, should immediately stop using the recalled 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases, and contact Vitamix for a repair kit consisting of a protective plastic shroud to attach over the blade base and additional instructional labels.
