Before you make coffee this morning, check to make sure your epresso maker isn't part of a recall.
The CPSC has recalled 2.1 million packages of espresso T discs in the United States and an additional 1.9 million in Canada due to a burn hazard.
The coffee discs are made by Kraft Foods Global Inc. They can become clogged and spray hot liquid and coffee grounds onto consumers and bystanders during or after brewing, posing a burn hazard.
There have been 21 reports of incidents of hot liquid and/or coffee grounds spraying onto consumers and bystanders, including four reports of second-degree burn injuries. One injury involved 2-year-old girl from Canada who received second-degree burns to her face.
This recall involves Gevalia, Maxwell House and Nabob brand espresso T Discs. The T Discs are plastic discs filled with coffee that are inserted into Tassimo coffee makers to brew single cups of hot espresso drinks.
They were sold in packages of eight or 16 espresso T Discs. T Discs with codes ending with 11213 through 12020 are included in this recall. The code is printed on the T Disc’s foil lid and on the side of the package.
The coffee discs were sold at department, mass merchandise, home improvement and other stores in the Atlanta area and nationwide as well as on various websites, including www.tassimodirect.com, from August 2011 through February 2012 for between $8 and $11 per package.
Consumers should stop using the recalled espresso T Discs immediately and contact the firm for a full refund. Don't try to return the product to the Atlanta area store you purchased it from.
