Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
