Mr. Coffee Recalls 600,000 Single-Serve Machines Over Burn Risk

If you’ve ever been startled by a sudden burst of hot liquid from your coffee machine, you’re not alone. In one of the largest coffee equipment recalls in recent years, authorities have flagged a serious safety flaw in a widely sold single-serve coffee machine linked to burns and injuries.

More than 600,000 Mr. Coffee single-serve brewers—made in China and imported by Jarden Consumer Solutions—are being recalled after reports of burns caused by scalding coffee and grounds ejecting from the machines. So far, 61 people have been injured, mostly in the U.S.

What’s Being Recalled?

The recall covers certain Mr. Coffee single-serve coffee makers manufactured in China. These brewers were sold between September 2010 and August 2024, with 520,000 units in the United States and 80,700 in Canada. Prices ranged from $60 to $80 per machine.

Why Are They Being Recalled?

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, the coffee makers can allow steam to build up inside the water tank. This pressure may force the brewing chamber to pop open unexpectedly, spraying out extremely hot coffee grounds and liquid. The issue poses a significant burn risk to users nearby.

Injuries Reported

Jarden Consumer Solutions has received 164 reports of the brewing chamber opening due to steam pressure. Out of those, 61 resulted in burns. Most injuries were to the face, hands, and upper limbs. Of the injured, 59 were in the U.S. and 2 were in Canada.

What Should You Do?

The CPSC and Jarden urge consumers to stop using the affected coffee machines immediately. Owners should contact Jarden to arrange a free replacement. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself or continue using it, as the hazard remains until the machine is replaced.
