Coffee Maker Burns Prompt WalMart Recall

Burn injuries have resulted in a coffee maker recall by General Electric and Walmart, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). About 900,000 digital 12-cup coffee brewers have been recalled after 83 reports of overheating, smoking, melting, burning and fires. There are three reports of burn injuries to consumers’ hands, feet and torso and also reports of property damage including a kitchen fire.

The coffeemakers were sold at WalMart stores nationwide from March 2008 through January 2010 and should NOT BE USED. Consumers may return the product to any Wal Mart for a full refund.
