Product Information
Full Description:
October 15, 1991 Release # 92-005 WASHINGTON, DC--In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Mr. Coffee, inc., of Bedford Heights, OH, voluntarily recalled the original version of its non-electric model QB1 Microwave Coffeemaker. This original microwave coffeemaker uses a cone-shaped filter. Under certain circumstances, the cone shaped brewer section may separate from the cup and possibly spill very hot coffee onto the user. The CPSC was informed of this potential hazard by Mr. Coffee, inc. as a result of three consumer complaints and the company's own concerns about the potential for such separation. This separation may occur because of the extended height of the top brewer and its high center of gravity. There have been no additional reported incidents. Mr. Coffee's original cone filter style microwave coffeemaker was distributed by Mr. Coffee from May 1990 through early June 1991. Approximately 338,850 units were sold for approximately $10 to $13 each. It was replaced in June 1991 by a new, shorter, basket filter style brewer which also avoids the earlier problem of separation and spills. This recall does not affect the shorter non-electric basket filter style model QB1 Microwave Coffeemaker which uses a basket type filter or any electric coffeemaker sold by the company. Consumers should immediately stop using this product. Consumers with questions may call Sunbeam Products, Inc. at (800) 672-6333 for assistance (Mr. Coffee is no longer in business at the above address, but Sunbeam Products, Inc. has now taken over in responding to questions about this recall)

Mr. Coffee Espresso/Cappuccino Makers Filter Repair NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 Note: Telephone Number & Responding Company Change. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ken Giles Originally issued March 6, 1997, Revised January 14, 2003 (301) 504-7052 Release # 97-081 CPSC, Health o meter Inc. Announce Recall to Replace Filter Holders and Filter Baskets on Mr. Coffee Espresso/Cappuccino Makers WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Health o meter Inc. of Bedford Heights, Ohio, voluntarily recalled about 50,000 Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino makers to replace their filter holders and filter baskets. The construction of the filter holder could make it difficult for consumers to rotate the holder securely into position. If the filter holder is not rotated securely into position, it can dislodge under pressure. As a result, it can break the glass carafe and consumers can be cut by broken glass or burned by escaping steam, coffee, or coffee grounds. Health o meter has received 43 reports of the filter holder dislodging, which resulted in 3 reported injuries, including cuts and burns. Only model ECM9 Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino makers are involved in this recall. The model number is imprinted on the bottom of the machines' base. The black plastic and metal espresso/cappuccino makers measure 13 inches long by 7.5 inches wide by 10.25 inches high. The filter holder is made entirely of black plastic, and the machines come with a 4-cup glass carafe. Since many espresso/cappuccino makers are similar in appearance, consumers should check the model number to see if their machines are part of this recall. The espresso/cappuccino makers are packaged in a carton labeled in part, "Mr. Coffee Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker ECM9." Labeling on the carton is written in both English and French. The carton displays a picture of the espresso/cappuccino maker. Various retail stores sold the espresso/cappuccino makers nationwide from September 1996 through February 1997 for about $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the model ECM9 Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino makers. Consumers should contact Sunbeam Products, Inc. at (800) 672-6333 for assistance (Mr. Coffee is no longer owned by Health o meter, Inc., but Sunbeam Products, Inc. has now taken over in responding to questions about this recall). Consumers should have their espresso/cappuccino makers available at the time of the call to verify the model number.
