BlendJet Blender Injury Lawsuit – Blade Detachment and Laceration Claims

Portable blenders like the BlendJet have become a popular kitchen gadget for smoothies, shakes, and on-the-go recipes. But what happens when the product fails during normal use, exposing spinning blades and causing injuries?

A recent injury report submitted to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) details a serious malfunction involving a BlendJet portable blender, in which the base detached from the plastic housing while blending, causing the spinning blade to cut a user’s forearm. The consumer treated the injury at home but described multiple lacerations and serious safety concerns.

This incident is especially alarming because the product had already been previously recalled. The consumer allegedly received this unit as a replacement blender issued by BlendJet after the initial recall, meaning the newer unit may still pose similar safety risks.

If you or someone you know was injured by a BlendJet blender or another portable blending device, you may be entitled to file a blender injury lawsuit. At The Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we can help victims pursue compensation when defective kitchen appliances cause injury or harm.

Summary of the Alleged BlendJet Blender Injury Incident

• Product: BlendJet Portable Blender (Mint color)
• Manufacturer: BlendJet
• Incident Date: August 6, 2025
• Type of Injury: Cuts to the forearm from exposed spinning blade
• Incident Location: Home
• Treatment: Treated at home with first aid supplies
• Product History: This unit was a replacement sent to the consumer following a previous recall
• Failure Details: The blender base detached from the housing during normal use, causing the blade to spin freely and strike the user’s arm

The blender was being used in a typical kitchen setting to prepare salad dressing. There was no report of misuse or modifications — the failure occurred during routine operation.

Risks of Defective Portable Blenders

Blenders contain high-speed spinning blades that can reach thousands of revolutions per minute (RPM). While useful for blending fruits and vegetables, they pose significant risks if the housing detaches, the blades become exposed, or the motor continues running while the casing is unstable.

Common injuries from defective blenders include:

• Deep lacerations to hands, arms, or fingers
• Nerve damage or tendon injuries
• Permanent scarring
• Blood loss or infection risk
• Burns from motor overheating or electrical shorting
• Trauma and anxiety around kitchen appliance use

In this case, the injury involved multiple cuts to the forearm, caused by a spinning blade that became exposed during normal operation.

History of BlendJet Recalls and Consumer Safety Concerns

The consumer who reported this incident stated that the blender in question was already part of a prior recall. BlendJet had reportedly issued a replacement base and blade, which allegedly failed again during standard use. This raises key product liability concerns:

• Was the recall remedy adequate and safe?
• Did the replacement product contain the same design flaws?
• Has the manufacturer taken sufficient action to prevent repeat injuries?
• Are there other consumers at risk who have also received defective replacement units?

Recalls are designed to protect consumers, but if the replacement product also causes injuries, it could indicate continued product design or quality issues that warrant further legal investigation.

Legal Rights in a Blender Injury Lawsuit

If you were injured by a defective blender, including a BlendJet or other portable device, you may be entitled to pursue a product liability claim. These claims typically focus on:

• Design defects – The product’s overall design created a foreseeable risk of harm
• Manufacturing defects – A batch or unit was incorrectly assembled or built
• Failure to warn – Lack of adequate safety instructions or warnings
• Inadequate recall remedy – Recalled products or replacements that still pose danger

Even if you treated your injury at home and did not go to the hospital, your case may still be valid — particularly if the product failed during normal use and caused physical injury.

Compensation Available for Blender Injury Victims

Victims of defective kitchen appliances may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses, including home care, stitches, or follow-up visits
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of income, if the injury caused missed work
• Emotional trauma, especially if the injury was traumatic or near the face/hands
• Product replacement costs or damages to surrounding property

The severity of your injury could play a large role in determining the value of your case. An experienced Florida product liability attorney can help you calculate the full extent of your losses.

What to Do If You Were Injured by a Portable Blender

If you’ve suffered an injury while using a portable or countertop blender, here’s what to do:

1. Preserve the product – Don’t throw it away. It may serve as crucial evidence.
2. Document the injury – Take photos of cuts, bruising, or scarring.
3. Keep packaging and receipts – These can help prove purchase history and model identification.
4. Seek medical care – Even minor lacerations can become infected or require future treatment.
5. Report the incident to the CPSC – Your report could help protect others.
6. Speak with a product liability attorney – A lawyer can help you determine if you have a case and explain your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I sue BlendJet if my blender was part of a recall?

Yes. If a recalled or replacement product caused an injury, you may have a valid claim — especially if the remedy failed to prevent the same or similar problem.

2. What if I didn’t go to the hospital?

You may still have a case. Injuries treated at home can still be compensable, particularly if you experienced pain, scarring, or emotional trauma.

3. Can I sue for emotional distress?

Possibly. Many blender injury victims report fear or anxiety using kitchen equipment again. If the injury was traumatic, emotional distress may be part of your claim.

4. What if I bought the blender as a gift or received it for free?

You generally do not need to be the person who purchased the product to file a lawsuit. Injured users often have standing to bring claims.

5. Can I sue even if the product didn’t explode?

Often, yes. Injury from any dangerous malfunction — such as spinning blades, detaching parts, or overheating — can lead to a product liability claim.
