Waring Bar Blender Produces Black Flecks, Consumers Claim

Reports from consumers suggest that Waring bar blender products may be defective, leaving black flecks in blended food and liquid.

Blenders are useful household appliances which can be used to make smoothies, soups, dressings, and more. Many health conscious consumers heavily use their blenders in the preparation of their food and drink. However, these consumers may be shocked to find out that their food and drink may contain black flecks of non-food material from their Waring bar blender.

New consumer reports suggest that the Waring bar blender and other similar appliances may produce black flecks which can contaminate food and drink prepared in the blender. If you own a Warning bar blender, you may be ingesting more than you bargained for when you prepared your food or drink in the blender. If you suspect that your Waring bar blender may be defective and producing black flecks, you should test the appliance.

The process of testing your Waring bar blender is a simple “white bowl test.” First, pour two cups of clean water into a white bowl. In the white bowl, you should check to make sure your starting water does not have any debris in it. Once you are sure your water is clean, pour the water into a clean blender and run the blender on high for 90 seconds. After the 90 seconds is over, pour the water back into the white bowl and check for any debris.

Numerous consumers have left reviews regarding black flecks in their Waring bar blender. One consumer reported:

“I DO see some very, very tiny black flecks upon running the clear water test […] Apparently it is the same material used on Teflon pans. Not thrilled about this — please let me know if you can enlighten me about this. I plan to call Waring customer support to see what they have to say about it.”

Another consumer reported a similar issue persisting through multiple uses and tests:

“I really wanted to like this Blender considering this is one of the few companies that offer an alternative to toxic plastic containers. However, the ‘black flake’ issue is very REAL! I ran this blender through several tests (around 7 to 10 times) with plain water and black plastic flakes were everywhere…YUCK! It seems that the higher I ran the speeds and longer [sic] I ran the blender the more black flakes it produced…”

The issue has become prevalent enough for new consumers to try the test immediately after purchasing the Waring bar blender. One customer found that her Waring bar blender was defective straight out of the box:

“[…] SO my Waring extreme just arrived. First thing I did was wash it out and ran the test…The bad news… it produces similar black flakes.”

If you find black flecks after doing the white bowl test with your Waring bar blender or another blender, you may be able to file a defective blender lawsuit. A defective blender lawsuit could help recover compensation for the defective product and potential punitive damages.
