A recall is being issued for almost 200,000 blender bottles that may pose a laceration hazard.
What type of blender bottles are being recalled?
Local perspective:
Approximately 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottles sold at Target nationwide were recalled on April 3 because the blades can continue to run when the bottle is not attached to the blender, posing a laceration hazard.
No injuries have been reported because of some using the blender bottles.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission noted that the products were sold at Target stores and online at Target.com from December 2024 through January 2025 for about $5.
