orywireKidisle is recalling about 17,600 KC101B hot and iced coffeemakers after reports that the machines can unexpectedly release hot liquid or steam. Owners should stop using the recalled coffeemakers and follow the refund instructions.
Kidisle is recalling about 17,600 hot and iced coffeemakers because they can clog and unexpectedly release hot liquid or steam, creating a burn hazard. Owners should stop using affected KC101B machines and contact Kidisle for a full refund, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall covers Kidisle-branded single-serve hot and iced coffee machines, model KC101B. The model number is printed on a sticker on the underside of the coffeemaker, while the Kidisle brand name may appear on the product order receipt.
The recalled machines are black, white and gray, measure about 11 inches high and 6 inches wide, and have a 50-ounce detachable water tank. They can brew 6 to 14 ounces of coffee using either cupped coffee or ground coffee.
The CPSC notice does not list UPCs or lot codes. Owners should use the KC101B model number, the product description and their order receipt to check whether they have the recalled coffeemaker.
The recalled coffeemakers can become clogged, causing hot liquid or steam to build up and release unexpectedly during use, the CPSC said.
The agency said it is aware of at least 107 reports of the coffeemakers releasing hot liquid or steam unexpectedly. Those reports include at least 27 injuries, including first- and second-degree burns that required medical treatment.
Consumers should stop using the recalled coffeemakers immediately. To request a refund, contact Kidisle at KidisleKC101Brecall@outlook.com.
The CPSC said consumers will be asked to destroy the coffeemaker before receiving a refund. The steps listed in the recall notice are:
Owners should follow the recall instructions rather than continuing to use the machine while seeking a refund.
Turn the coffeemaker over and look for a sticker on the underside. The recalled model number is KC101B.
The product order receipt can also help confirm whether the machine was sold under the Kidisle brand. The recall applies to the Kidisle hot and iced single-serve coffeemaker described in the CPSC notice, not every Kidisle-branded kitchen appliance.
Thermos is recalling about 8.2 million food jars and bottles because stoppers can eject forcefully after perishables are stored inside for an extended period. Owners should stop using affected models and contact Thermos for a free replacement stopper or replacement bottle.
Recall notices can be updated if the agency or company revises instructions, injury reports or affected-product details. Consumers should follow the latest CPSC and Kidisle instructions before submitting refund materials, especially if a separate claims page or additional contact method is added later.
The KTL Glitter and Glow Magical Sand Art Kit has been recalled over a possible asbestos contamination risk in the sand. Owners should check model TY7626 and barcode 5033849865252, stop using the kit and follow official disposal or return instructions.
Several POM power bank lines sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores are being recalled over a fire risk linked to internal wiring. Owners should stop using affected models immediately and return them for a refund or replacement.
