Keurig Green Mountain is recalling

about 6.6 million MINI Plus Brewing

Systems in the U.S. and 564,000 in

Canada following burn reports,

according to the U.S. Consumer

Product Safety Commission.

The model number is K10 and

recalled brewers have an I.D. number

starting with “31,” according to the

safety commission on Tuesday.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

“They are single-serve, hot beverage

brewers and were sold in 13 different

colors,” the commission reports.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

The reason? There were about 200

reports of hot water coming out of the

brewer made by the Waterbury, Vt.

company, including 90 reports of burn-

related injuries.

The machines were sold from

December 2009 through December

2014 at a cost of approximately $100.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

Customers are instructed to contact

Keurig for a free repair of their

machine.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

The problem is that the system can

spray out hot water and cause burns

for the user.

McDonald’s Hot Coffee All Over

Again?

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

According to Forbes the coffee

machines have resulted in a couple

hundred cases of spraying and at

least 90 reported burns.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission on Tuesday announced a

recall of Keurig’s Mini Plus Brewing

Systems, citing concerns about water

that can overheat during the brewing

process, spraying out and burning

consumers.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

Keurig GMCR -2.53% has received

about 200 reports of hot liquid

escaping from the brewer, including

90 of those that said they suffered

burn-related injuries.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

Keurig makes its money selling

individual serving coffee but reliable

machines are essential for sales.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

This situation is reminiscent of hot

McDonald’s coffee and a famous jury

verdict of $2.7 in punitive damages

because the company did not take

steps to remedy a recurring problem.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

In this case Keurig’s is taking prompt

action and apparently no other coffee

makers are causing this problem.

Coffee Maker Burns

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

The leading link in Google

for espresso machine burns is to a

lawyer.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

Any machine with pressurized hot

water is a potential for burns.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

Mishandling an espresso machine

can leader to burns as any barista

knows.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

The issue for the user is to know how

to use the machine.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

The issue for coffee maker

manufacturers is to produce a

machine that is as nearly injury proof

as possible and to fix any problems as

they arise.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1290/keurig-coffee-maker-recall/

This seems to be the case with the

Keurig coffee maker recall.
