Approximately 17,500 IMUSA espresso makers are being recalled because the filler cap on top of the unit can crack or pop off unexpectedly. This defect can allow hot steam to escape or cause the cap to strike bystanders, leading to 43 reported incidents, including one report of a user suffering hand burns. These black or gray and black units were sold at Kmart, Sears, and Target between July 2014 and November 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these espresso makers and contact IMUSA for a free replacement filler cap.
The filler cap can crack or detach suddenly due to internal pressure buildup, potentially burning the user with escaping steam or causing impact injuries to anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled espresso makers and contact IMUSA for a free replacement filler cap.
