An urgent recall has been issued for a popular kitchen appliance that poses a serious risk of fire, with more than 11,000 affected products all over the country.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued a recall of the BlendJet 2 Portable Blender on Tuesday, warning customers that the battery within the product may overheat while charging causing it to catch fire.

Also, in certain circumstances of intensive use, a blender blade may break off, releasing a fragment, with the consequent risk of laceration of an internal digestive organ if it is swallowed.
