Bunn Recalls 1.75 Million Coffee Makers

Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, a manufacturer of high end coffee makers, announced a recall today of 1.75 million coffee makers in conjunction with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. According to the government agency, the coffeemaker’s plastic pour-in bowl and lid can melt or ignite due to an electrical failure.

Seventeen cases of the bowl or lid melting have been reported, although no injuries have been traced to the defect. The company has pleged to provide a free repair or a discount towards a future model.

The affected models are GR-10B, GR-10W, B-10B, B-10W, and BT-10B (including any of those same model numbers ending in the additional letter D) with six-digit date codes ending in “01,” “02,” or “03.” Also involved in the recall are the same models with dates codes ending in “04” and middle digits between “01” and “21.” (If the date code has a seventh digit, consumers should ignore the last digit and use the first six digits.). The model number can be found on a small sticker on the bottom of the coffee maker.

Consumers owning one of these coffeemakers can get more information by calling Bunn-O-Matic at (800) 385-2652 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
