Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20140907-77BB2-2147441146. Severity: Injury, Emergency Department Treatment Received. Matched catalog product: Ninja BL770. Source model text: Ninja Blender Mega Kitchen System 1500 # BL77030. Incident: While cleaning the Ninja Blender I poured the warm water soap solution out (as indicated by the directions) at which point the blades fell out of the blender hitting my right hand creating deep lacerations across my middle and ring fingers. This immediately caused loss of control and sensation in my ring finger. I was taken to the emergency department for medical treatment, I have since been under the care of a hand surgeon who was able to surgically reattach my tendons, though I may have some permanent nerve damage. This product has caused me a great deal of unnecessary pain and suffering. The Ninja blender product design is flawed and needs to be removed from the market to prevent any future injuries.
