BlendJet SCAM

One of the nice things about having your own website is that you can have the pleasure of griping about something to everyone in the world. Of course, it’s not likely that anyone will actually read your comments, but still, it does hold a certain satisfaction.

We had a BlendJet, and it was recalled in December 2023 due to safety concerns. We followed the recall procedure. That was a year ago. Here’s what BlendJet said to us in April 2024:

We are reaching out because our records show you have submitted a request for a replacement base and lid for the BlendJet 2, which was part of our recall announced on December 28, 2023. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we’re currently experiencing delays processing and shipping these replacement parts.  

The overwhelming response to this recall, coupled with unforeseen supply chain issues, has led to a shortage of replacement kits. While these kits are currently being shipped, it’s important to understand that we won’t be able to ship all of them immediately and some customers may not receive their replacements until June 2024. The first recall orders that were received are the first in line to receive replacement bases. Rest assured that we are doing everything we can to expedite this process. 

Of course, June 2024 has come and gone, and we are coming to the realization that this company has absolutely no intention of ever actually replacing these recalled units. The “unforeseen circumstance” is probably their inability to fulfill their obligations under this recall and still maintain a positive cash-flow.

So this is me having my say, but this is not the end of it. I will keep you posted.
