The BlendJet 2 Portable Blender was recalled for fire and laceration hazards, and buyers filed two class actions in 2023. The recall followed reports of blade breakage, fires and minor burns.
Both class actions were dismissed without prejudice, and the California case closed on October 7, 2026. No MDL exists for these blenders, and no settlement has been announced.
The CPSC recall covers about 4.8 million units, but BlendJet Inc. has gone out of business and no remedy is available. The recalled units have serial numbers starting 5201 to 5542. Stop using the blender.

What Is the BlendJet 2 Portable Blender?
According to the CPSC, the BlendJet 2 is a portable blender sold in a variety of colors and designs. It is about 9.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide and weighs about 1.5 pounds.
The ACCC describes it as a portable blender with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. BlendJet’s recall page covers select units [10].
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of a BlendJet 2 Portable Blender may be affected if the serial number starts with 5201 to 5542 and the blade broke in use, or if the unit overheated or caught fire.
The harm can be a burn, a laceration or property damage. The blender was sold from October 2020 through November 2023 at Costco, Walmart, Target, other stores and BlendJet.com for $50 to $75.
Check the first four digits of the serial number on the bottom of the base. Any new claim would be an individual one, and only an individual legal review can say whether you have a claim.
Reported Injuries or Damages
The CPSC says BlendJet received approximately 329 reports of blades breaking in use. It got 17 more reports of overheating or fires, with property damage claims of approximately $150,000.
BlendJet also received about 49 reports of minor burns and one report of a laceration injury. Reports do not prove the blender caused every incident.
The class action complaints allege that blades break or detach, a cable melts and a battery overheats. They also allege the battery sometimes catches fire. These are allegations, not findings.
Consumer Reports testing earlier in 2023 found the BlendJet2 blade completely broke off in a durability test, according to The Takeout.
Recall and Regulatory Background
The CPSC lists the remedy as “Dispose, No Remedy Available,” and recall 24-069 stays posted. Owners cannot get the earlier base replacement. A recall alone does not prove liability or show that you qualify for a claim.
Evidence to Preserve
A claim after a burn, a laceration or a fire may depend on records made at the time. Evidence can show what happened and what it cost you. Keep these items if you have them:
- The BlendJet 2 base showing the serial number, and the jar, lid and packaging
- Photographs of the damage, burns or fire scene
- Receipts, order emails or card statements showing where and when it was bought
- Medical records and bills
- Repair or replacement estimates for property damage
- Messages with BlendJet or the retailer, and any report filed with the CPSC
Filing Deadlines
State law sets the time limits for an injury or property damage claim over a blender. The limits differ by state.
Your time limit may also depend on when the burn, fire or other damage happened. Missing it can end a claim even when your records are strong, so ask a lawyer early which deadline applies to you.
