Nutribullet overheating blenders $10M class action settlement

UPDATE:

• This class action lawsuit is paying out $7 as of Sept. 23, 2022.
• Congratulations to everyone who filed a claim and got paid!

Nutribullet LLC has agreed to a $10 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims some of its blenders are prone to overheating.

The class is made up of anyone who purchased, for non-commercial use and not for resale, any new or reconditioned 600- or 900-watt Nutribullet blender in the United States or its territories between June 1, 2017, and March 15, 2022.

Nutribullet makes a variety of small appliances and related products, such as juicers, food processors, smoothie mixes, supplements and more.

However, according to the plaintiff in a class action lawsuit, Nutribullet should be letting consumers know not to operate certain blender models continuously for more than one minute and not to blend hot or warm ingredients.

Nutribullet has not admitted any wrongdoing or liability and argues the blenders are safe, but the company has agreed to a settlement to resolve the class action claims.

Class members who submit a claim with proof of purchase or their blender’s serial number may choose either a cash refund — $5 for a qualifying 600-watt model or $7 for a qualifying 900-watt model — or a discount code for $10 toward the purchase of a new 600-watt blender or $15 off the purchase of a new 900-watt model.

Only one claim is allowed per household.

In addition to the monetary relief, Nutribullet will add notices to the outside of the packaging of its 600- and 900-watt blender models advising consumers not to operate the blenders continuously for more than a minute or to blend hot or warm ingredients.

The disclosure will also instruct consumers to read all warnings in the product’s user guide before using the blender.

A final approval hearing in the Nutribullet overheating blenders settlement is set for June 30, 2022.

The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is June 13, 2022.

The claim form deadline is also June 13, 2022.
