The product
This recall involves 12 models of Ninja professional blenders with model numbers that start with BL 660, BL 663 or BL 665.

All recalled models have a motor base that is gray, white, black, cinnamon, or platinum. The power of the models' motors varies from 1,000 to 1,200 watts. The recalled models may have been sold with additional accessories, including a 40- or 64-ounce bowl, a chopping blade assembly, or a dull dough blade assembly.
What can happen
The blender poses a laceration risk if consumers pour or invert the pitcher after removing the lid while the loose stacked blade assembly is still inside the pitcher.
