A blender sold at Aldi stores has been recalled as the blade may break during use, allowing broken pieces of metal to mix into food or drinks, posing an ingestion and/or choking hazard.
The Kuchef Professional Blender CB1390 was supplied to Aldi by Winplus Australasia and the defect is in the lower blade.
According to the ACCC recall notice, “Due to an inconsistency in the metal used in the manufacture of the lower blade of the blender, there have been instances where the blender blade has broken during use.”
This recall only affects Kuchef Professional Blenders with the product number 45831 and the electrical approval number SAA-140304-EA.
The faulty products were sold in New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and Victoria between 31 May 2014 and 1 July 2014.
Consumers can contact Winplus to arrange for a new and improved blade set to be sent out to replace the existing blade set. Contact Winplus Australasia on 1300 663 907 www.winplus.com.au.
