From today's Los Angeles Times business section:
More than a million coffee makers are being recalled after dozens of reports of the brewers spraying hot liquid, coffee grounds or tea leaves onto people.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said there have been 140 reports of problems with the Tassimo single-cup brewers dousing people, including 37 cases involving second-degree burns.
In one case, a 10-year-old girl was hospitalized with second-degree burns to her face and neck, it said.
The agency said the coffee maker's "T-disc," the plastic disc that holds the coffee or tea, can burst while brewing.
About 835,000 coffee makers are on recall in the United States; 900,000 are on recall in Canada.
The agency said that the coffee makers were manufactured by BSH Home Appliances Corp., based in Irvine, and that some of them carry a Bosch brand name.
It also announced the recall of 4 million packages of Tassimo espresso T-discs after 21 reports of problems.
