Jarden Consumer Solutions is recalling approximately 520,000 Mr. Coffee® Single Cup Brewing Systems in the United States and 80,700 in Canada. Steam can build up inside the water reservoir, causing the brewing chamber to suddenly force open and spray hot coffee grounds and water onto users. The company has received 164 reports of the chamber popping open, including 61 reports of burn injuries to consumers' faces, torsos, and hands. These brewers were sold in black with silver, red, or white trim at major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond between September 2010 and August 2012 for between $60 and $80.
Steam pressure buildup can forcefully eject the brewing chamber, expelling scalding water and hot coffee grounds directly at the user. This has resulted in dozens of reported burn injuries to the face, hands, and upper body.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffee brewer and contact JCS to receive instructions on how to obtain a free replacement unit.
