Bodum recalls 5.9 million French press coffee makers
The recall covers glass carafes that can shatter and burn users, especially if stirred with a metal spoon.
Bodum USA is recalling about 5.9 million French press coffee makers after reports the glass carafes can break during use and cause burns. The company says it has received 70 reports of carafes breaking, including 48 reports of burns. CPSC
What's recalled
The recall covers 8-cup and 12-cup glass carafes in the Bistro, Brazil, Caffettiera, Chambord, Crema, Java, Jesper and Kenya lines. They sold at Target, Walmart and other stores nationwide and online from 1974 through October 2026 for about $15 to $65. The carafes can break if the glass is damaged or cracked, and using a metal spoon to stir coffee can cause that damage. CPSC
