Nearly 6 million coffee makers are being recalled because their glass could break during use, increasing the risk of burn injuries, according to a notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall affects 5.9 million Bodum French press coffee makers with 8-cup and 12-cup replaceable glass carafes. 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.

Bodum 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.
