Precision Trading Recalls Espresso Makers Due to Risk of Burns
Burn
The hazard
The filler cap at the top of the unit can crack and allow steam to escape, posing a risk of burns to the user. In addition, the cap can pop off unexpectedly as a result of pressure buildup, posing a risk of injury to a bystander.
Incidents reported: The firm has received one report of a consumer who sustained burns to her arm when the cap unexpectedly released steam from the espresso maker.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled espresso makers and contact Precision Trading Corp. to request a free replacement cap.
