Tassimo Recall
Some Tassimo coffee makers are being recalled due to burn hazard.

The said Tassimo recall is being conducted by BSH Home Appliances Corporation (BSH), in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada.

"We have received some consumer reports that during the brewing process, T DISCs can burst and spray hot water and/or coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers using the brewer and onto bystanders, posing a potential burn hazard." BSH said Kraft and BSH have identified the causes of this issue and are taking actions on the Tassimo brewers by Bosch and certain Espresso Drink T DISCs to help prevent it from happening in the future."

There have been 140 reports of incidents with the brewers spraying hot liquid, coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers, including 37 reports of second-degree burn injuries. One incident involved a 10-year-old girl from Minnesota who received second-degree burns to her face and neck and had to be hospitalized.

This recall involves Tassimo brewers with the Bosch brand name and Tassimo Professional brewers.
