Question
I bought a blender and immersed it in a mikvah with a blessing, as required, and now I want to return it to the store. Should I be concerned that the blessing was in vain? And should I be concerned that it will cause a blessing in vain for the next buyer who might think it hasn't been immersed?
Answer
It is not a blessing in vain because the transaction is annulled only from now on. However, it misleads the next buyer into a blessing in vain, so it should be labeled as immersed.
