Burger King is closing two dozens locations in the Detroit area and laying off 424 employees as it plans to permanently cease operations in Michigan. The Texas-based burger chain blamed "unforeseen business circumstances." The closures started on March 17 and are expected to be finished by April 15.
The blenders can overheat or catch fire and their blades can also break off during use. Regulators urged consumers to stop using the recalled model immediately and contact BlendJet for a free base unit replacement.
