Owners Tell Others To Beware Exploding NutriBullets
NutriBullets may be small, but they are powerful. Used to make smoothies, sauces and much more, the space-saving, high-powered blenders have become extremely popular. In fact, more than 40 million devices have sold worldwide. But several owners report that their blenders have suddenly exploded during use. And after suffering serious injuries, they're warning everyone to be careful of exploding NutriBullets!***WARNING: Some images may be considered graphic***
“My client did not have warnings on his device and the user manual had soup recipes on it,” said Pete's lawyer, Lori Andrus.And Pete's not the only person warning of exploding NutriBullets. Others report similar experiences, even when blending cold ingredients. RELATED: Mom's warning after an exploding pumpkin disfigured her little girl's face
Other Reports Of Exploding NutriBullets
Australian talk show, Today Tonight Adelaide, featured several guests who owned exploding NutriBullets. One of those guests was Richard Moore, a London-based film director. Richard says he was whipping up a peanut butter smoothie when he noticed the blades began spinning faster than usual. And that's when the blender exploded."It felt like my hands were on fire," he said.Richard spent several nights in the hospital, and faced severe pain for even longer. Even though he was making a smoothie, the manual says too much friction from the spinning blades can heat up cool or room temperature liquids.
"Do not continuously operate for more than one minute. If the vessel is warm to touch, allow to cool before carefully opening pointed away from your body” the NutriBullet manual reads.An investigation of Pete's claims and the claims of other NutriBullet owners is under way. NutriBullet has not yet publicly responded, nor have they issued any type of recall.

The electronic version of the NutriBullet manual can be found on their website HERE. Betty Gold of the Good Housekeeping Institute recommends using an immersion blender rather than a NutriBullet or standard blender for hot liquids.
"All you have to do is lower it into your pot to blend vegetables with the broth — no need to dump everything into the blender and get a whole other bowl or dish dirty," she explains.
