The BlendJet2 portable blender has been recalled due to serious safety risks, including metal blade breakage and overheating that can cause fires, with the manufacturer BlendJet Inc having ceased operations in August 2025.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) updated the recall notice on August 14, confirming that BlendJet Inc. has gone out of business in the United States and is no longer operating in international markets, including Australia.

The company cannot provide remedies to affected consumers.

Products with serial numbers ranging from 5201000000 to 5542999999 may be affected.

The serial number is printed on the bottom of the device base.

The portable blender features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and was sold in various colours between October 1, 2020, and November 1, 2023.

The ACCC identified two critical safety issues with the BlendJet2.

Metal blades may break during use, creating a risk of serious injury from choking or lacerations if broken pieces become mixed with food or drinks and are consumed.

Injuries from blade breakage have been reported.

Additionally, the blender may overheat and catch fire when charging or during use, posing risks of serious burn injuries and property damage.

Fires resulting in burn injuries and property damage have occurred with these devices.

The ACCC advises consumers to stop using the blender immediately.

Those who purchased directly from BlendJet should dispose of the device and must not donate or resell it due to safety risks.

Consumers who purchased the blender from other retailers may have rights to remedies under consumer guarantees, which could include refunds or replacement products free from defects in certain circumstances.

The BlendJet2 was sold nationally and internationally through online channels and various major retailers, including Bi Rite, Camera Electronic, Campus and Co, Costco, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Kitchen Warehouse, Mini-Max, Myer, The Good Guys, and Wanderlust.

The devices were manufactured in China and distributed across Australia during the three-year sales period before BlendJet Inc’s business closure.

The recall highlights ongoing safety concerns with portable battery-powered kitchen appliances and the complications that arise when manufacturers cease operations while safety issues remain unresolved, leaving consumers to seek remedies through retailers under consumer protection laws.
