If you happen to have a Vitamix Ascent or Venturist blender at home, you'll definitely want to pay attention to this. As reported by Joseph Lamour of TODAY, "Vitamix is recalling hundreds of thousands of its blending containers and blade bases after receiving dozens of reports of injuries."
Last week, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission released a notice recalling the Vitamix Ascent and Venturist Series, specifically the 8-ounce and 20-ounce, blending containers and blade bases due to the fact that "the containers can separate from the blade base, exposing the blades, posing a laceration hazard to consumers." The notice writes that the only remedy is repair, also noting that in August 2018, some of the same blender parts were also "previously recalled" in both the U.S. and Canada.
