Nearly 7 Million Keurig Coffee Makers Being Recalled After 90 Customers Burned

If you’re planning on giving a Keurig coffee maker as a gift this Christmas, you better check this list twice. That’s because nearly 7 million of the machines are being recalled.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says that 6.6 million ’mini plus brewing systems’ are being recalled due to the fact that “...water can overheat during brewing, spray out and burn consumers.”

The company has already received 200 reports of hot liquid escaping the machine, including 90 reports of burn-related injuries.

Here’s the recall information from the Safety Commission:

This recall involves Keurig® MINI Plus Brewing System with model number K10 (previously identified as model number B31). Recalled brewers have an identification number starting with “31” followed by a range of numbers printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the brewer. They are single-serve, hot beverage brewers and were sold in 13 different colors with silver trim. Colors include black, red, white, cobalt blue, aqua blue, purple, platinum, emerald, yellow, orchid, bayberry, mauve and poinciana. The recalled brewers measure about 11 inches tall, have a “Brew” button, three cup size brewing options (6 oz., 8 oz. and 10 oz.), and a removable drip tray. The water tank is located on top of the unit towards the back. K10 is marked on the packaging. Recalled units were produced between December 2009 and July 2014 and can be identified by the serial number printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the brewer.

Consumers, reported the commission, should contact Keurig for a free repair. The units were sold between Dec. 2009 and Dec. 2014 at Kmart, Kohl’s, Target, Walmart and other retailers for about $100.
