Blender models sold at Kmart and Target have been pulled from the market due to potential safety concerns, posing a risk of severe injury.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a warning about a recall of portable rechargeable food blenders sold at Kmart and Target. These blenders, available in white, blue, green, or lilac, were sold nationwide between January 23, 2025, and September 3, 2025.
The recall comes after reports of the blenders self-activating when immersed in water, a potential risk of serious injury to owners. Some incidents of lacerations from the exposed blades have already been reported.
The ACCC advises that owners of these blenders should immediately stop using the product and place it away from water. If the product cannot be returned, owners should contact the place of purchase for further instructions.
Customers who purchased these blenders at Kmart or Target are eligible for a full refund. The recall affects the portable blenders sold at these stores only, and no other products are involved in this recall.
The manufacturer’s name is not explicitly stated in the given search results, but the SKUs specific to each store are available.
The ACCC urges consumers to be vigilant about product recalls and to follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents. For more information about this recall, please visit the ACCC's website or contact Kmart or Target customer service.
