Keurig Green Mountain Inc., a maker of home-brewing machines for beverages, is recalling more than 7 million coffee-making systems after reports of people being burned by hot liquid that sprayed from the devices.
The company will recall about 6.6 million of its Keurig MINI Plus brewing systems in the U.S. and 564,000 in Canada after around 200 reports of water overheating and spraying out of the machines, including 90 incidents of burn-related injuries, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The item has been sold at major retailers since 2009 for about $100, the CPSC said today in a statement.
