Kmart has issued a product recall on a popular item due to the risk of serious injury. The retail store’s $25 portable blender, available in white, green, blue, and lilac, has been pulled off shelves as it may self-activate if the base is immersed in water.
Kmart shared a statement on social media on Thursday morning alerting shoppers to the recall of the product, which has been available to purchase since 23/01/2025. The USB-powered blender had been popular for making smoothies at work, the gym, on road trips, or while camping.
RECALL:
“If the base of the product is immersed in water, it may self-activate without pressing the ON/OFF button,” the statement read. “Risk of serious injury, including laceration from the exposed blades, if the product self-activates.”

The 12 assorted mini animal character designs were available for purchase from Kmart and Target nationally and online between June 12, 2025, and August 13, 2025, with the barcode number 5061081370999.
