Over 100 claims have been filed against the makers of NutriBullet alleging the machine malfunctions and explodes under normal use, causing first degree burns, severe cuts, and even knocking out teeth. Most of these claims have been filed as product defect cases, with at least 22 lawsuits actively pending, but a recent lawsuit filed is the only pending class action, claiming that the product violates federal and state consumer protection laws, as well as warranty laws. This class action includes all NutriBullet blenders manufactured after January 1, 2007.
Prior Warnings on NutriBullet
Since the product debuted in 2007, over 40 million units have been sold worldwide. But not without warning. In 2014, Consumer Reports recommended consumers not buy one model, the NutriBullet Pro 900, after noticing blades cracked during a durability test. Consumer Reports lifted the warning two years later after NutriBullet made the machine’s blades thicker.
The jury is still out on the average settlement or award in the individual lawsuits, though filings show that plaintiffs are asking from $6,000 to $75,000. Amounts will vary depending on the events leading up to the injury and the injury itself, as well as loss of past and future wages and pain and suffering.
If you have been injured while using a NutriBullet, contact a product liability attorney, who can hear the facts of your particular case and give you an estimated value for your potential lawsuit.
