Braun Espresso/Cappuccino Makers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Braun Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,000 espresso/cappuccino makers, models E20 and E25 (type 3058), with production codes "426" through "450" stamped on the bottom of the base. If the filter holder is pushed past its maximum setting, it may dislodge under pressure, potentially breaking the glass coffee carafe and causing consumers to be cut by broken glass. Additionally, consumers could be burned by escaping steam or spilled coffee grounds. Braun has received 16 reports of the filter holder dislodging, resulting in three injuries including a cut and burns. These machines were sold nationwide by major department stores, kitchen supply stores, and various retailers from August 1994 through December 1994 for between $49 and $69.
To obtain a remedy, affected consumers should call Braun at (800) 933-8363, which operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Consumers should have their espresso/cappuccino maker available when calling. Braun is providing replacement filter holders, revised instruction sheets, and product labels to owners of the recalled machines.
