The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a press release on August 28, 2013 #13-273 for the Vitamix 64-ounce Low-Profile Container recall.
So far there have been 18 reports of the blade breaking with the potential for lacerations.
I found this information from the CPSC a bit confusing with all of the #'s of parts and pieces.
The recall involves 165,000 blenders in the United States and an additional 4,300 in Canada, according to the CPSC.
Some consumers have purchashed this blender on line direct from the company at "vitamix.com from April 2012 to August 2013 for a pretty penny. $529 to $749 . " YIKES! that must be a very good blender. Others have purchased this item at show demonstrations at fairs and retail stores. Vitamix blender models 7500, the professional series 133 and 750.
Definitely not the kind of blender to be letting the little kids be playing around with to make smoothies or playdough.
Here is the number to call to get a instructions fo a repair if that blender matches or you bought if for someone for a wedding present.

I write my version of recalls with as much accurcy as posible, with my own twists, as a public service. Won't you please share this and all recalls on -line as you can.
or
go to the CPSC website and pass that on.
