Bodum French press coffee makers recalled over glass breakage risk
Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Nearly 6 million Bodum French press coffee makers with 8-cup and 12-cup glass carafes are being recalled due to the risk of the glass breaking during use, which can cause burn injuries.
- The recall follows 70 reports of carafe breakage, including 48 incidents where consumers sustained burns, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
- The glass carafe can break unexpectedly if it is damaged or cracked, including from stirring coffee with metal spoons, prompting Bodum to advise consumers to stop using metal utensils and request a free plastic spoon and warning label.
- These products were sold nationwide at major retailers such as Target, Walmart, and online platforms from 1974 through October 2026, with prices ranging from $15 to $65.
- Bodum emphasized that despite the low rate of incidents relative to millions of units sold, the recall aims to promote the safe use of their French press coffee makers.
