Kitchen Selectives Blender recall: Laceration Hazard

Select Brands Recalls Kitchen Selectives Blender Due to Laceration Hazard

Why was Kitchen Selectives Blender recalled?

While in operation, the plastic pitcher can separate from the blade assembly, leaving the blade assembly in the base and exposing the rotating blades. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
