The carafe can unexpectedly break during use if the glass is damaged or cracked, including if a metal spoon is used to stir the coffee, the notice said.The CPSC said the Bodum name appears on the frame and inner lid of most models and is engraved on the glass carafes.MORE THAN 44,000 CANS OF WALMART FRUIT COCKTAIL RECALLED OVER LEAD CONCERNSBodum USA, which issued the recall Oct. 29, has received 70 reports of carafes breaking during use, 48 of which included reports of burns to consumers."While the rate of reported incidents involving carafe breakage during use is extremely low, especially considering that Bodum has sold millions of these products in the U.S. for decades, this recall will further encourage the safe use of our French Press Coffee Makers," Bodum said in a statement.NEARLY 1.6M POUNDS OF HOT DOGS, BACON AND OTHER MEATS RECALLED NATIONWIDEThe CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using metal spoons or utensils to stir coffee in the glass carafe and contact Bodum for a plastic stirring spoon and warning label.POPULAR KIDS' TOOTHPASTES AMONG 4M TUBES RECALLED NATIONWIDEThe products were sold at Target, Walmart and coffee and home goods stores nationwide, as well as on Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and other online retailers from 1974 through October 2026 for about $15 to $65.
