Emergency room Made Sep 17, 2011, sent to the company Sep 26, 2011, published by CPSC Oct 12, 2011
The product, in the report: Target Brand Chefmate Electric Blender DPCI 072-04-1623 We have the sales receipt, but I threw away the blender last April after the accident. We didn’t feel safe having it used again, I didn’t think to keep it at the time I was distressed about the accident.
My 13 year old daughter was using the Target Chefmate Blender to make a smoothie, the plastic pitcher came off while the blender was in motion. She received lacerations to her hand from the metal blades which were still spinning. The liquid from the pitcher drained down into the motor causing the motor to smoke and spark until she was able to unplug blender with her uninjured hand. There was strawberry and blood splattered all over the kitchen. My daughter had to get many stitches in her hand, she has a scar and some sensation affected, long recovery time. Classmates have bullied her about the accident.
