Hazard

The containers can separate from the blade base, exposing the blades, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

Remedy

All consumers, including consumers who participated in the 2018 recall, should immediately stop using the recalled 8-ounce and 20-ounce blending containers and blade bases, and contact Vitamix for a repair kit consisting of a protective plastic shroud to attach over the blade base and additional instructional labels.
