What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product with a mechanical failure—the blender's safety feature has failed and blades continue operating when disconnected. No injuries have been reported, placing it in the high category per the rubric: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Sakar International Inc. is recalling approximately 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottles. The bottles are made of clear plastic with a white plastic base and white top, identifiable by the model number ES15-BB-TA and MID #5220824 printed on a sticker under the base.

The recalled bottles pose a laceration hazard because the blender's blades can continue to operate when the bottle is not attached to the blender base. One consumer reported being able to remove the bottle while the blades were engaged. No injuries have been reported.

The bottles were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com from December 2024 through January 2025 for approximately $5. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blender bottles.

Sakar is offering a full refund as a $5 Target gift card or check, plus a prepaid return shipping label. Proof of purchase is not required. Consumers should not return the bottles to Target stores.
