   Bodum USA Recalls 5.9 Million French Press Coffee Makers

   Bodum USA is recalling 5.9 million French press coffee makers featuring replaceable glass carafes because of a serious burn hazard.

The affected units include 8-cup and 12-cup models sold nationwide at major retailers such as Target and Walmart. Affected product lines include Bistro, Brazil, Caffettiera, Chambord, Crema, Java, and Jesper. Consumers are advised to stop using metal utensils for stirring and contact the company for a plastic stirring spoon and warning label.
