Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #16034) was formally reported on November 12, 2015. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Hai Xin Technology (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records indicate About 1.1 million (an additional 99,000 were sold in Canada) units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: The blender poses a laceration risk if consumers pour or invert the pitcher after removing the lid while the loose stacked blade assembly is still inside the pitcher. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should empty the blender's pitcher through the locked lid's pour spout or by removing both the lid and the stacked blade assembly from the pitcher before pouring. — consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
