NutriBullet lawsuits center on allegations that certain NutriBullet blender models contain design defects that allow excessive pressure to develop inside the sealed blending cup during ordinary use.
Plaintiffs allege that some models lack an adequate pressure-relief system or other safety features capable of preventing the unexpected release of pressurized contents when the cup is removed or separates from the blade assembly.
As a result, lawsuits claim that hot liquids, food, steam, or broken plastic components can be forcefully expelled, causing severe burns, lacerations, eye injuries, and other traumatic injuries.
Product liability claims have been filed against NutriBullet, Capital Brands, and related entities alleging defective design, inadequate warnings, and other product safety failures.
Each lawsuit depends on the specific blender model, the circumstances of the incident, the injuries sustained, and the available evidence.
Although the allegations vary from case to case, the central issue is whether the product performed as safely as an ordinary consumer would reasonably expect during normal use.
Are NutriBullet Blenders Recalled?
As of writing, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has not announced a nationwide recall for the NutriBullet blender models that have been the subject of pressure buildup and explosion-related product liability lawsuits.
A recall is not required before an injured consumer may pursue a product liability claim, and several lawsuits have been filed despite the absence of a U.S. recall.
NutriBullet has updated product packaging and safety warnings following prior litigation and settlements, including instructions addressing extended blending times, hot ingredients, and pressure buildup.
Separately, the NutriBullet GO NBG-100 rechargeable blender was recalled in the United Kingdom in 2025 because its lithium-ion battery could overheat during charging and create a fire risk, but that recall involved a different product and a different alleged defect than the U.S. explosion lawsuits.
Consumers who believe they were injured by a NutriBullet blender should identify the exact model involved and preserve the product, as recall status is only one factor considered in a product liability investigation.
Product liability claims generally depend on the specific blender model, the alleged defect, the circumstances of the incident, and the available evidence rather than whether a recall has been issued.
Why the NutriBullet Model Matters
The specific NutriBullet model involved in an incident can be an important part of a product liability investigation.
Different NutriBullet products may vary in their intended design, motor power, blending cup, blade assembly, seals, locking mechanism, warning labels, and operating instructions.
Product liability lawyers and engineering experts review these differences to determine whether a particular design feature or alleged defect contributed to the injury.
Publicly filed NutriBullet lawsuits and settlement materials have most clearly involved 600-watt and 900-watt NutriBullet blenders.
Depending on the facts of the incident, investigators may also review other NutriBullet or Magic Bullet products, including the following models and product lines:
- NutriBullet 600 Series
- NutriBullet Pro 900 Series
- NutriBullet RX
- NutriBullet Select
- NutriBullet Balance
- NutriBullet Prime
- Magic Bullet personal blenders
- Other NutriBullet blender products
If you were injured, preserve the blender, blending cup, blade assembly, seals, instruction manual, packaging, model number, serial number, and proof of purchase whenever possible.
These materials can help investigators determine which product was involved, whether the manufacturer was aware of similar complaints involving that model, and whether its design or warnings are relevant to a potential product liability claim.
