Tassimo coffee recall

Tassimo coffee recall-The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada announced a recall of more than 1 million Tassimo Single-Cup Brewers after more than 100 reports of the brewers spraying hot liquid and burning users. According to the CPSC, about 835,000 brewers in the U.S. and 900,000 in Canada are being recalled. The Single-Cup Brewers use plastic T Discs that are filled with coffee or tea to brew hot drinks. The product has been recalled after “140 reports of incidents with the brewers spraying hot liquid, coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers, including 37 reports of second-degree burns.” In one incident, a 10-year-old girl was hospitalized in Minnesota with second-degree burns on her face and neck. Her name is Halee Miller. She was making a cup of coffee with her grandmother using a Tassimo Single-Cup Brewer her mother purchased for the family for Christmas. All of a sudden, there was a funny noise and then an explosion. Halee was burned by coffee grinds that exploded on her face and neck. “I got the call at work,” said her mother, Susan Miller.
