Kitchen Selectives® 6-Speed Blender

Product description

This recall involves Kitchen Selectives^® 6-Speed Blenders, model BL-15. The model number is located on the bottom of the base.

The blender consists of:

• a 15-centimetre (six-inch) tall, white electrical base with five white speed-selector buttons labeled 1 through 5, one gray button labeled "Pulse/Off" and the logo "Kitchen Selectives®" in black letters on the front;
• a clear plastic pitcher with a handle with imperial and metric volume measurement markings;
• a white plastic lid with a removable clear plastic lid stopper; and
• a white plastic blade assembly with two angled, stainless steel blades.

Hazard identified

While in operation, the plastic pitcher can separate from the blade assembly, leaving the blade assembly in the base and exposing the rotating blades. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.

The affected product has been recalled in the United States and is certified to Canadian Standards by Intertek Testing Services / ETL, which means it can potentially be available in Canada as well.

Neither Select Brands nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this blender.

Number sold

There were no affected blenders distributed in Canada by the company. However as units are approved for sale in Canada, there may be some present in the Canadian market through other channels.

Time period sold

The affected blenders were distributed from June 2009 to April 2012.

Place of origin
