Keurig Recall: 7 Million Machines

I know many of you have purchased Keurig Machines over the last five years- some through this website.

So I wanted to let you know that Keurig has done a recall of over 7 million machines purchased between December 2009 and November 2014.  They have been spraying hot water and/or lead to burns on almost 300 consumers.

Keurig reported that the problem is most likely to occur when two drinks are made one after the other and recommends that consumers remain at least an arm’s length away when using one until they are fixed.

If you have one of the recalled Keurig machines you should contact Keurig Green Mountain to arrange for a free repair. Keurig can be reached weekdays at 844-255-7886 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern, and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekends.  Or you can e-mail keurig@inmar.com.  The call center will be closed Dec. 25 through Jan. 1.

The recalled machines are the model K10 (which was previously identified as model number B31). They have identification numbers that begin with “31” followed by a string of other numbers that are printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the brewer. These single-serve brewers measure about 11 inches high and came in 13 colors with silver trim.

Each has three brewing options: 6 ounces, 8 ounces and 10 ounces. They were made between December 2009 and July 2014. The recalled serial numbers, listed here, will identify those involved in the recall.

There is additional information on the Keurig recall site.
