After consumers reported nearly 100 instances of burn injuries, Keurig recalled approximately 7.2 million coffee makers in the United States and Canada. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that Keurig recalled the brewing systems because they can overheat and spray hot water onto users.

To eliminate the problem, Keurig is offering free repairs to any Keurig users who purchased the defective model.

Keurig models affected by the defect include a wide range of Keurig MINI Plus Brewing System coffee makers. You can view the product serial numbers here.
