Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110711-906C6-2147477311. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Haier HW80-B14636N (prior Haier unit). Source model text: Haier HB500BSS 500-Watt Commercial-Style Stainless-Steel Ble. Incident: I bought the Haier HB500BSS 500-Watt Commercial-Style Stainless-Steel Blender in July 2009. It was purchased on Amazon.com, I got the description and when I bought it from my order history. Today I was using it and the blade mechanism became loose while using it. Then there was a smell of smoke. I removed the pitcher and blade mechanism. The turning rod at the base of the unit has been stripped by the loose mechanism. The whole unit is now useless. I am unhappy because up and til now I have been really happy with the unit. Now I can't use it. Can you please let me know what I should do? I saw your recall on the mechanism.
