The Chopster is a kitchen tool with four arms used for chopping and mixing ingredients. It is similar to Pampered Chef's Mix n Chop, which has six arms and is colored black. Both tools serve the same purpose in the kitchen.
It is unclear if Pampered Chef stole the idea for the Mix n Chop from the inventor of the Chopster. The inventor claims that he presented his product to Pampered Chef but they were not interested. However, Pampered Chef may have independently developed their own version of the tool.
Pampered Chef has not publicly commented on why they rejected the Chopster. It is possible that they did not see potential in the product or did not feel it aligned with their brand. However, without a statement from Pampered Chef, the reason for their rejection is unknown.
According to the former host at the show, her in-laws are suing Pampered Chef for stealing their invention. However, without further information, it is unclear if this is true or if the lawsuit will be successful.
It is possible that Pampered Chef may have made enough modifications to the original Chopster to claim the Mix n Chop as their own invention. However, it is ultimately up to the courts to determine if there was any patent infringement or if the Mix n Chop is too similar to the Chopster.
