December 23, 2025 – A recent incident report details a concerning malfunction involving a Blend Jet 2 portable blender, where the blending blade reportedly detached and fell into a user’s smoothie during normal operation. This incident highlights potential safety risks related to product integrity and the dangers of foreign object ingestion.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On December 5, 2025, a consumer reported an incident involving their Blend Jet 2 portable blender. According to the report, the user was mixing athletic greens in their Blend Jet 2, serial number 5632011890, when the blade assembly unexpectedly broke off and fell into the smoothie. The incident occurred during routine use, suggesting a potential defect in the product’s manufacturing or design that led to the blade’s detachment. No immediate injuries were specified in the report, but the presence of a broken blade in a consumable product presents significant health hazards.
Safety Concerns
The detachment of a blending blade into a food item poses several serious safety concerns:
- Immediate Dangers: The most immediate danger is the potential for ingestion of metal fragments. This could lead to choking, cuts to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract, and severe internal injuries. Even small fragments could cause perforations, bleeding, or blockages in the gastrointestinal system, requiring emergency medical intervention.
- Long-Term Risks: If small blade fragments are ingested without immediate detection, they could cause long-term digestive issues, internal scarring, or latent injuries that manifest later. There’s also a psychological impact of unknowingly consuming a foreign object or the fear of such an occurrence with future use of similar products.
- Who Might Be Affected: All users of the Blend Jet 2 are potentially at risk if this is a systemic issue. Children, the elderly, or individuals with pre-existing digestive conditions may be particularly vulnerable to severe harm from ingesting foreign objects. Anyone consuming a smoothie or other blended item from the device could be exposed to this hazard.
- Property Damage Potential: While the primary concern is personal injury, the detachment of a blade also indicates a failure of the product itself, rendering it unusable and potentially damaging other components of the blender or the surface it’s used on if the detached blade is ejected forcefully.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a Blend Jet 2, especially one with a serial number similar to the one reported (5632011890), we recommend the following immediate steps:
- Stop Use Immediately: Discontinue using your Blend Jet 2 blender, particularly if you notice any unusual sounds, vibrations, or looseness in the blade assembly.
- Inspect Your Product: Carefully inspect the blade assembly of your Blend Jet 2 for any signs of cracking, looseness, unusual wear, or previous repairs. Do not attempt to use it if you have any doubts about its integrity.
- Retain Evidence: If you experience a similar incident, do not discard the product or the foreign object. Retain the blender, the detached blade, and any other relevant components as evidence. Take clear photographs or videos of the incident and the product.
- Seek Medical Attention: If you suspect you or someone else has ingested a foreign object, seek immediate medical attention.
- Report the Incident: File a detailed report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.saferproducts.gov. You should also report the incident directly to the manufacturer, BlendJet, to make them aware of the potential safety issue.
