Fit & Fresh Mixers Recalled

October 30, 2008   
MEDport LLC is recalling about 54,000 Fit & Fresh smooth blend mixers. While placing the cup on or off the base of the mixer, the mixer can unexpectedly turn on, activating the blade. This can pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers.

MEDport has received one report of finger lacerations that required medical treatment.

This recall involves Fit & Fresh Smooth Blend Mixers with item number 770FF and model number SB-19. The white mixers have four components -- a base unit, blade assembly, blending cup and cap. Fit & Fresh is printed on the front of the base. The recalled mixers can be identified by the date code, a four-digit number located on the bottom of the base. Date codes included in the recall are: 2707, 4407, 5207 and 0308.

Longs, GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores sold the mixers nationwide and at www.amazon.com from September 2007 through August 2008 for about $25. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the mixers and determine if their product is subject to this recall. Consumers with the recalled mixers should return the product to the place of purchase or contact MEDport LLC to arrange for a refund.

For additional information, contact MEDport LLC at (800) 858-8840 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.medportllc.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
