New Jersey-based Sakar International Inc. is recalling nearly 200,000 blender bottles across the United States because they pose a safety risk, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

“Blades can continue to operate when the bottle is not attached to the blender, posing a laceration hazard,” the CPSC said in an April 3 recall notice of around 199,000 Vivitar Blender Bottles.
