Before you make your morning shake, there’s an important recall you should know about when it comes to your blender, if you’re a Vitamix customer.
Vitamix announced a recall on Thursday for its Vitamix Ascent Series and Venturist Series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases.

In a press release, the company said the containers can separate from the blade base exposing the blades, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
The company has received 27 reports of lacerations, including 11 reports from a prior 2018 recall, when consumers’ hands came in contact with exposed blades.
The products, which can range in price from $30 and $990 for the blender and blending containers when sold with other products, were sold at Costco, Best Buy, Crate & Barrel, Macy’s, Target, Williams Sonoma, Walmart and specialty and independent stores nationwide, and online at Vitamix.com, Amazon.com and QVC.com from April 2017 through May 2024.
All consumers should stop using the recalled 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases and contact Vitamix for a repair kit.
The kit will include a protective plastic shroud to attach over the blade base and additional instructional labels.
