illy is recalling about 65,000 cans of Whole Bean coffee (8.8 ounces/250 grams) because the lids can suddenly detach with significant force when opened. This defect occurs in silver cylinder-shaped cans that are missing an air valve on the bottom. The recall affects Medium Roast (red accent), Dark Roast (black accent), and Decaf (green accent) varieties sold at retailers like Target, Whole Foods, and Amazon between November 2017 and May 2018. Consumers should not attempt to open these cans and should contact illy for a free replacement.
When the canister is missing a bottom air valve, internal pressure can build up, causing the lid to pop off forcefully upon opening. This sudden detachment of the metal lid poses a direct risk of impact injuries to the user's face or hands.
Consumers should not open or use a recalled coffee can and contact illy for a free replacement product.
