Defendant.
Docket No.: 2:23-cv-02144
COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR
JURY TRIAL
Plaintiff, by and through her attorneys, JOHNSON BECKER, PLLC and MILBERG
COLEMAN BRYSON PHILLIPS GROSSMAN, PLLC, upon information and belief, at all
times hereinafter mentioned, alleges as follows:
NATURE OF THE CASE
1. Defendant designs, manufactures, markets, imports, distributes and sells consumer
products such as blenders, including the subject “Ninja Blender,” which specifically includes the
BL685 model (referred to hereafter as "Ninja blender(s)”) that is at issue in this case.
2. The Ninja blenders are defectively designed and manufactured in that the unit’s
stacked blade assembly does not lock into place and is not secured to the gear shaft. When used
in its normal and intended manner by consumers, the blade assembly can fall out of the pitcher,
putting the user at risk of sustaining sever lacerations and injuries requiring medical attention. The
Ninja blenders pose a safety risk to consumers and to other individuals who may be in close
proximity to the Ninja blenders while they are in use.
3. Defendant knew or should have known of these defects, but has nevertheless put
profit ahead of safety by continuing to sell its Ninja blenders to consumers and failing to recall the
Case 2:23-cv-02144 Document 1 Filed 03/20/23 Page 1 of 11 PageID #: 1
