7 Million Keurigs Recalled, More Than 90 Injured Trying to Brew Coffee

If you bought your loved one a Keurig brewing machine for the holidays, you may want to check it out a bit before wrapping it. The company announced that they are recalling 7 million Mini Plus brewers, effective immediately. The defective machines are said to overheat and scald users with hot liquid.

Ouch.

The coffee brewing machines function normally, however, brewing more than one cup of coffee in quick succession is strongly discouraged. Lest you get some hot liquid spewed at you.

According to the CSPC, there have been 200 incidents with the hot liquid escaping and 90 reports of burns.

Keurig website posts instruct owners of Keurig Mini Plus brewers to check their units with the model number K10 and serial numbers beginning with 31. These models were produced before July 2014. Consumers are urged to contact Keurig to see if their machine is defective (though not on Christmas, apparently). If so, they will then receive a kit to fix the machine themselves.

6.6 million Keurigs will be recalled in the US and 564,000 from Canada.
