A familiar coffee maker can be easy to overlook when a recall makes the news. Bodum’s October 29 recall covers approximately 5.9 million French presses with replaceable glass carafes, including products sold over many years.

Check the size and model

The CPSC notice lists 8-cup and 12-cup versions of Bistro, Brazil, Caffettiera, Chambord, Crema, Java, Jesper and Kenya models. Compare your coffee maker with the official identification photographs and recall description; do not assume every Bodum product is included.

The remedy concerns how the glass is used

The reported hazard is breakage of cracked or damaged glass during use, with a risk of serious burns. The notice specifically identifies damage from metal stirring utensils.

CPSC instructs consumers to stop stirring with metal spoons or utensils and contact Bodum for a plastic stirring spoon and warning label. Do not use a cracked or damaged carafe. The announced remedy is not a blanket refund or replacement of every coffee maker.

Make the check useful for everyone in the kitchen

If more than one person makes coffee at home, tell them about the recall rather than keeping the information in your inbox. A label or instruction can be missed when a product is shared. For a coffee maker kept at a holiday property or used only for guests, include that location in your check too.

Start a request through Bodum’s recall website linked by CPSC. Keep its confirmation with the product details. Follow the recall service’s instructions if you are unsure which model you own.
