Tassimo Home Brewing System Safety Recall

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, BSH Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) and Kraft Foods are voluntarily announcing two recalls related to the Tassimo Home Brewing System.

We have received some consumer reports that during the brewing process, T DISCs can burst and spray hot water and/or coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers using the brewer and onto bystanders, posing a potential burn hazard. Kraft and BSH have identified the causes of this issue and are taking actions on the Tassimo brewers by Bosch and certain Espresso Drink T DISCs to help prevent it from happening in the future.

Please note that both these recalls are limited to the United States and Canada only.

Maybe they should recall the espresso machines without 3-way valves too. Ever witness a portafilter sneeze? Actually they're a bigger menace than a Tassimo, since espresso machines operate at higher temps.

The recall is for a handful of espresso and related milk pods branded Maxwell House and Gevalia with a code falling in the 11213 - 12020 range.

As a public service, I'm recalling all espresso machines produced without 3-way valves. Compliance is not optional; all owners must send me their machines now!

Yeah ... well ... how about the guy who bought a McDee's coffee ... attempting to slurp it down while it was scalding hot ... and then took them to court.
