Los Angeles, CA: A Keurig has issued a recall of its MINI Plus Brewing Systems because the water can overheat during brewing, spray out and burn consumers. So far, the Keurig has received about 200 reports of hot liquid escaping from the brewer, including 90 reports of burn-related injuries.
About 6.6 million units are involved in the recall in the U.S. and 564,000 Canada.
This recall involves Keurig® MINI Plus Brewing System with model number K10 (previously identified as model number B31). Recalled brewers have an identification number starting with "31"followed by a range of numbers printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the brewer. They are single-serve, hot beverage brewers and were sold in 13 different colors with silver trim.
