If you own a Vitamix, you may be subject to a surprising recall.
A popular blender manufacturer is recalling blender bases and blender containers due to a laceration risk.
Health Canada said in a recall notice Thursday that the container could detach from the blade base, exposing the blade and posing a risk of cuts to users.
Injuries have already been reported in Canada and the United States.
“As of June 14, 2024, the company has received three reports of incidents involving injuries in Canada,” Health Canada said. “In the United States, the company has received 19 reports of incidents involving injuries.”
According to the notice, the recall includes all Vitamix Ascent and Venturist series 8 oz blending containers, 20 oz blending containers and blade bases, including those repaired as part of a previous recall in August 2018.

The clear container and black blade base come with certain Vitamix Venturist and Ascent model blenders, including the Venturist V1200, Ascent A2300, Ascent A2500, Ascent A3300 and Ascent A3500 blenders, and are also sold separately in sets or bundles in various configurations.

The blending container has the Vitamix logo printed on it.
What should I do if my Vitamix has been recalled?
Health Canada is urging Canadians who own affected blenders to immediately stop using them and contact Vita-Mix Corporation to receive a free repair kit.
The repair kit comes with a protective shroud that fits over the blade base and additional instruction labels.

While this recall doesn't offer refunds, this air fryer recall could get you a $75 Best Buy card without a receipt.
There are also recalls that may allow you to get a new blender for free, even without a receipt.
