Consumer Recall: Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewers

Sunbeam Products Inc. d/b/a Jarden Consumer Solutions (“JCS”), of Boca Raton, Fla. announced a voluntary recall of Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System because a build-up of steam in the water reservoir can force the brewing chamber open and expel hot coffee grounds and water, posing a burn hazard. The recalled coffeemaker comes in black with silver, red or white trim. It stands about 11 inches tall and has a Brew Now /Off button and a removable drip tray. The water tank is located on top of the unit towards the back. The model number is printed on the bottom of the brewer. Recalled model numbers can be found here. The affected coffeemakers were sold at mass merchandisers nationwide, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Brandsmart, JC Penney, Kmart, Lowe’s, Target and Walmart, and online at www.mrcoffee.com from September 2010 through August 2012 for between $60 and $80.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffee brewer and contact JCS to receive instructions on how to obtain a free replacement unit. For additional information, contact JCS at (800) 993-8609 anytime, or visit the firm’s website.
