Keurig Green Mountain has publicly announced to recall almost 6.6 million units of MINI Plus Brewing Systems in the U.S. and 564,000 in Canada in response to numerous burn reports. While making the announcement, VP of Corporate Communications for Keurig, Suzanne DuLong, stated that “any reports of injury received were handled promptly,” adding that what’s “important to note, is that any reported injuries of this issue were generally minor and we’ve received a very small number relative to the total number of units in the U.S. and Canada.”
The company has confirmed to have contacted the CPSC and Health Canada regarding the model number K10. The safety commission has alerted that the recalled brewers have an I.D. number starting with “31.” The commission’s report stated that “they are single-serve, hot beverage brewers and were sold in 13 different colors.” It said that there were about 200 reports of hot water coming out of the brewer made by the Waterbury, Vt. company, including 90 reports of burn-related injuries. A professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, Carl Tobias, stated that “hopefully the consumers will have some recourse, especially those badly hurt.” It was added that “my major concern is public safety. Will people know if there are that many millions out there. It is the holidays and people aren’t necessarily near their computers.”
The company concluded that “we are working closely with our retail customers to recall all affected product and we are in the process of fulfilling MINI Plus Brewer orders for consumers and retail customers with a new product that is not affected by the recall.”
