The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website published the recall June 1. It applies to about 469,000 PowerXL Self-Cleaning Juicers, models SHL96 and SHL90-SC, sold in the United States and about 10,900 sold in Canada. 

According to the recall, the juicers can rupture during use, striking consumers and posing a laceration hazard, or leave small particle shavings in the juice, posing an ingestion hazard to consumers.

Empower Brands says it is aware of 261 reports of incidents, including 47 reports of injuries, some of which involved severe cuts requiring emergency treatment and stitches.

The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

Full refund available, Empower Brands juicer recall says

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled PowerXL Self-Cleaning Juicers and contact Empower Brands to receive a full refund, the company says. 

The model numbers and UPC codes of the juicers are printed on the bottom of the Model SHL96 juicer and on the back of the SHL90-SC juicer. 

Empower sold Model SHL90-SC at Walmart and other stores nationwide and online at www.walmart.com and Model SHL96 at BJ’s Wholesale Club, CVS, Kohl’s, Marshall’s, Target, T.J.
