The Vivitar Blender Bottle was recalled because the blender’s blades can keep operating when the bottle is not attached to the blender. This poses a laceration hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on April 3, 2025, and the refund offer is open. It covers about 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottles sold at Target from December 2024 through January 2025 for about $5.
Stop using the bottle and contact Sakar International Inc. for a refund. One report reached the firm, and no injuries have been reported. No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed.

April 3, 2025: CPSC Announces the Vivitar Blender Bottle Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a Fast Track recall of about 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottle units. The recall number is 25-214 [1].
Sakar International Inc. imported the bottles and offers owners a refund under the recall.
Which Vivitar Blender Bottles Are Affected?
The recall covers Vivitar Blender Bottles with these features and markings:
- A clear plastic bottle with a white plastic base and a white top
- ITEM ES15-BB-TA, printed on a sticker under the white base
- MID #5220824, printed on the same sticker
- MID #5220824, also stamped on the underside of the base
- Sold at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com, with the sale window running through January 2025
Turn the bottle over and look under the white base. Check the sticker and the stamp before you decide whether your bottle is included.
Why Were the Vivitar Blender Bottles Recalled?
The Vivitar Blender Bottles were recalled because the blades can continue to operate when the bottle is not attached to the blender. CPSC says this poses a laceration hazard.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The firm has received one report where the consumer was able to remove the bottle from the base while the blades were engaged.
USA Today reported on April 4, 2025 that no injuries have been reported [2]. A report is not proof that the bottle caused any harm.
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps if you own a recalled Vivitar Blender Bottle:
- Stop using the bottle right away.
- Check the sticker under the white base for ITEM ES15-BB-TA and MID #5220824.
- Contact Sakar at 800-592-9541 anytime, at support@sakar.com, or through the Vivitar recalls page [3].
- Ask for a full refund as a $5 Target gift card or a check, with a pre-paid return shipping label, not at Target stores.
Legal Options
A person injured by the Vivitar Blender Bottle may have an individual product-liability claim, reviewed on its facts. A recall does not automatically establish liability.
Talk to a lawyer about your own situation, and keep the bottle, your purchase records and any medical records for that review.
