Haier Attacks

The only thing more exciting than a story about a terrible accident with a food disposer is a terrible accident with a blender.  More gore, less mess.

Our imaginary letter from Haier Customer Service to its customers, rife with lies and 1/2 truths.

Dear Haier Customer/Victim
Haier is kindly asking all 53,800 purchasers of the HB500BSS Blender to kindly stop using said machine until such time as you request and then receive a new blade assembly from Haier.  Unfortunately, the blade assembly that we shipped with your blender has found it necessary, when spinning at 12,000 RPM, to explode in a cloud of sharpened surgical steel and shards of tempered glass creating a kill zone with radius of 25 feet.

Thankfully, in 59 of the 60 cases of assembly failure, the consumer was under the table unconscious, in a puddle of his or her own making, and protected from said cloud.  The 60th case, as luck would have it, was not terribly good looking to begin with.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
