Vitamix is recalling more than half a million blending containers and blade bases due to a safety hazard.

The company is recalling the Ascent Series and Venturist Series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases.

According to a recall notice on the U.S. Product Safety Commission, the containers can separate from the base, exposing the blades and posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

The blenders were sold at Costco, Best Buy, Crate & Barrel, Macy’s, Target, Williams Sonoma, Walmart and specialty and independent stores nationwide, and online at Vitamix.com, Amazon.com and QVC.com from April 2017 through May 2024.

Vitamix is urging customers to immediately stop using the 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.
