SARASOTA – A Florida woman has filed a lawsuit against SharkNinja Operating, alleging that a defective packaging design of the company’s “Ninja Professional Plus Blender” caused severe injuries to her hand.

Cody Ford, a Sarasota resident, claims in the lawsuit that she suffered “serious and substantial laceration injuries” on February 19, 2023, when she opened the box containing the blender at her bridal shower, according to a complaint filed Jan. 30 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

According to the complaint, Ford reached into the packaging and was immediately cut by the loose and unsecured blade assembly inside.
