Voluntary Product Recall of Blade Assembly in Cuisinart Compact Blender & Juice Extractor Combos

Conair Consumer Products ULC (Cuisinart), in cooperation with Health Canada, is conducting a voluntary recall of Blade Assembly of Cuisinart Compact Blender & Juice Extractor Combos.

Cuisinart is instituting this voluntary recall because the blade assembly is creating a risk that over time the nut holding the blade assembly in place can loosen and ultimately detach from the base during use, increasing the possibility that a consumer will come into contact with the blade and sustain an injury.

The recall applies to Cuisinart brand Model CBJ-450C Compact Blender & Juice Extractor Combos. The model number is printed on the label located on the bottom of the base and on the original packaging. The blades are silver-colored stainless steel and have a black plastic center hub. Cuisinart is printed on the front and on the bottom of the compact blender and juice extractor combos. UPC 068459285874

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blender part of the compact blender and juice extractor combos and contact Conair for a free replacement blade assembly. Consumers will receive instructions on how to install the replacement blade assembly after discarding the existing blade assembly, and after verifying disposal of the existing blade assembly. No tools are needed, and the new assembly can be inserted into the unit in the identical manner that the original assembly was in accordance with the operating instructions that the consumer received when the product was purchased. The juice extractor is unaffected and may continue to be used.
