Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20140728-A8A56-2147442472. Severity: Injury, Emergency Department Treatment Received. Matched catalog product: Ninja BL770. Incident: I went to use my ninja blender for the first time today. As I got it out to clean it, the blade fell onto my foot. The blade sliced deeply into foot, to the bone. I was bleeding all over and screamed for my sisters help. As she ran to assist me, she accidentally kicked the blade that was lying next to me, as she did not see it. This resulted in half her toe being cut off, and part of the bone. We spent most of the day in the ER. I got away with just stitches and a tetanus shot... My sister was referred to a plastic surgeon to get a skin graft on her toe. Maybe this company should consider putting a button release for the blade, considering it is sharp enough to cut bone.
