@haddon9   @Renata22. Google Vitamix Class Action Suit and it will tell you the models and years that were included.  I was fortunate that my Vitamix was not in those groups of models and dates.

Filing time, by the way, has expired.

Received email today from Vitamix who will be contacting those who opted for blade replacement.  They will advise when and how to return the container. Apparently, they will do the replacement and return YOUR ORIGINAL container.  Because of the numbers to be replaced, it will be done over a period of time.  Also, if you want to get the $70 gift card instead, that would be an option you could choose.

Wait..

@coffee drinker

I requested a blade replacement.

I have to RETURN the container?  I thought they would just send me the blade!

What a pain!  Did it say how long the turn-a-round would be on fixing it?

I never use the thing.  I requested the replacement instead of the GC since I wouldn't want to buy anything else for an item that collects dust!

Rats...not sure it is worth the effort....is that their plan I wonder?  That many of us won't bother?

To be honest, the few times I have used it, I never saw any black flecks or defects in the blade.

I received my $70 Gift Card by email on the 16th of Jan. Thx to @sidsmom

I had to go check an old email addy I'm no longer using.

Did you request the replacement balde assembly or the gift card?

@Nightowlz

That’s Great!  

Just to reiterate for those jumping in to this thread,

the class action lawsuit is an either/or:

Either

-a new blade to be replaced by the owner

or

-$70 email gift code for the use on the Vitamix website

I applied my $70 towards a new 48oz low profile canister.

I received it last week...perfect how it fits nicely under the cabinets.

I also asked for the gift card so I could buy the low profile container. Have not ordered it yet. I thought about buying a new machine but should just order the smaller container & be done with it.
