Hundreds of potentially unsafe blenders could be in use sparking an urgent warning. Islington Council has urged people to dispose of any ‘Boxo Blend’ kitchen blenders, after one of the devices caused a fatal flat fire in Haringey.
The authority's Trading Standards officers believe that as many as 650 of the products may still be in use. They were sold or given away by Boxo Blend Ltd, a business registered in Islington, from 2020-2022.
The blenders (pictured) are white, black, pink or blue on the top and bottom, with a transparent blending chamber. The ‘Boxo Blend’ logo is featured at the bottom of the product, underneath the power button. Anyone who has one of the blenders should dispose of it safely.
