BlendJet is recalling about 4.8 million of its portable blenders over laceration and fire hazards after receiving dozens of injury reports.

According to a notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the now-recalled BlendJet 2 Portable Blenders can overheat or catch fire.

And their blender blades can also break off during use. Regulators urged consumers to stop using the recalled BlendJet 2 Portable Blenders immediately and contact BlendJet for a free base unit replacement.

The Benicia, California-based company maintained its voluntary recall impacts older Blender 2 blenders -- and that BlendJet 2 blenders currently available for purchase through the company's website and retail partners are not affected.
