Ascent™ and Venturist™ Series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Vitamix is recalling Ascent and Venturist series 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers because the containers can separate from the blade's base, exposing the blades and creating a laceration hazard. The recall affects containers with blade date codes of March 2018 ("03-18") or earlier. The date codes are laser-etched onto the top of the blade in the blade base. Containers that have already been repaired have a green or orange dot marked on the bottom of the blade base. These clear containers with black blade bases were sold separately and also included with Vitamix Venturist Model 1200 blenders.
Consumers who have one of the recalled blending containers should immediately stop using it and contact Vitamix for a free repair kit. Vitamix is sending repair kits to consumers it can identify.
