BlendJet 2 blenders were recalled for fire and laceration hazards. BlendJet Inc. is out of business, the free replacement is gone, and CPSC's current advice is to stop using the blender and throw it away.
If you own a BlendJet 2, the short version is this: check your serial number, and if it is in the recalled range, stop using the blender and throw it away. There is no replacement to claim. There is no refund to request. The company that would have provided them no longer exists.
This page exists because that advice has changed since the recall was announced, and a lot of what is still written about the BlendJet 2 online — including, until today, on this site — describes the old remedy as though it were still available. It is not.
On 28 December 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recall number 24-069 covering BlendJet 2 Portable Blenders (CPSC recall notice). CPSC files the notice under its 2024 recall directory, which is why you will sometimes see the year given as 2024; the announcement date on the record itself is December 2023, and that record is the canonical one. There is no separate, earlier BlendJet recall — a 2022 CPSC URL for a BlendJet 2 recall that circulated in some write-ups, including one of ours, does not exist and returns a page-not-found.
The scope:
CPSC states it directly: “The recalled blenders can overheat or catch fire and the blender blades can break off, posing fire and laceration hazards to consumers.”
The incident numbers behind that are not trivial. According to the recall record, BlendJet reported approximately 329 reports of blades breaking during use, plus 17 reports of overheating or fires with property damage claims totalling roughly $150,000. There were about 49 reports of minor burns and one reported laceration injury.
The serial number is printed on the bottom of the base, alongside the words “blendjet2” and “The Original Portable Blender.” The recalled units are those where the first four digits of the serial number fall between 5201 and 5542.
CPSC’s description also notes the physical dimensions of the recalled units — approximately 9.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide, weighing about 1.5 pounds — but the serial number is the identifier that matters.
The manufacturer previously ran a serial-number lookup tool for this purpose. Given the company’s status, described below, we would not rely on that tool remaining accurate or available. Read the digits off the base yourself and compare them to the 5201–5542 range.
When the recall was announced, the remedy was a free replacement base unit. Owners had to remove the rubber seal from the base of their recalled blender, cut it into three or more pieces, and email or upload a photo showing both the serial number and the destroyed seal.
That remedy no longer exists. CPSC has added a notice, dated 13 May 2025, to the top of the recall record:
Note: BlendJet Inc. has gone out of business and the recall remedy is no longer available. Discard this product. Do not donate or resell. (05/13/2025)
The remedy field on the record now reads simply “Dispose — No Remedy Available”, with the explanation: “The firm is no longer in business and the recall remedy is no longer available. Discard this product. Do not donate or resell.”
So the current, official instruction for an affected BlendJet 2 is disposal. Not “contact BlendJet.” Not “claim your replacement base.” Dispose of it.
Note the second half of that sentence too — do not donate or resell. Passing a recalled blender to a flatmate, a charity shop, or a marketplace listing moves the fire risk to someone who does not know about it. If yours is affected, it ends with you.
Be careful here, because this is where we got it wrong ourselves.
Material published by the manufacturer during the recall period stated that BlendJet 2 units then currently for sale were not affected, and one of our own articles repeated that. We have withdrawn that article. Whatever was accurate about it in 2024, it is not a safe thing to tell a reader in 2026, for two reasons.
First, CPSC’s current guidance carries no “safe stock” carve-out. The note it added in 2025 says to discard the product, full stop, with no exemption for particular units.
Second, and more practically: the company is gone. There is no manufacturer left to stand behind a distinction between corrected and uncorrected production, no warranty, no support line, and no way to verify from a marketplace listing photo which version of the hardware is in the box. Remaining stock circulating through third-party sellers is, from a buyer’s point of view, unverifiable.
BuyingBench does not link to a BlendJet 2 purchase from anywhere on this site, and does not score it as a shopping option. Documenting a recall is worth doing; monetising the recalled product is not.
We are deliberately not turning this page into a sales pitch — there are no purchase links here at all. If you want our actual picks, they are on their own pages: our portable blender comparison, our FreshJuice Pro vs nutribullet GO head-to-head, and our portable blender buying guide.
One general point this recall does illustrate: portable blenders are lithium-ion battery appliances with exposed blades, and both of those failure modes are the ones that hurt people. Buying from a manufacturer that publishes a real user guide, states a warranty term, and is still around to honour it is not a luxury in this category.
If you have an issue with a recalled product and the company is unresponsive — or, as here, no longer exists — CPSC accepts recall complaints directly through the form linked on the recall notice. Retailers may also have obligations under consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, which is worth asking about if you bought yours from a large chain.
If anything on this page is out of date or wrong, please tell us through our corrections policy and we will fix it and log the change.
