Recall: 304000 Chefmate blenders for cut dangers
16.09.11
The Consumer Output Safety Commission and retail giant Target Corp. announced yesterday a cancel of Chefmate branded blenders. The blender's plastic pitcher can unravel from the blade assembly while in use, posing the risk of cutting the blender's consumer.
The CPSC and Target have received 11 reports—seven of which confused serious cuts to consumers' fingers—of the flawed counter-top blenders coming aside from during use.
The recall affects Chefmate 6-speed blenders, mock-up BL-10, which feature a six-inch tall white motorized wicked with six buttons. (The model number is imprinted on the bottom of the motor entity.) The clear plastic pitcher features a white cap along with a chalk-white plastic base which holds the blender's two angled, stainless inure blades.
Approximately 304,000 of the blenders, made by Select Brands of Lenaxa, Kansas, were sold for about $14 at Aim retail outlets nationwide from September 2007 to February 2011.
Consumers are urged to at the drop of a hat stop using the faulty Chefmate blenders and reimbursement them to a Target store for a full refund.
