Black & Decker® Coffeemaker Recall

On June 6, 2006, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of about 420,000 Black & Decker® Brand Thermal Coffeemakers. The coffeemaker may not turn off as programmed, causing the unit to overheat and melt, and posing a risk of fire and burn injury.  The distributor of the recalled Black & Decker® Thermal Coffeemaker has received 14 reports of the coffeemakers overheating. This resulted in one report of a minor burn, and 12 reports of minor property damage to kitchen cabinets, countertops and floors.

The CPSC description of the recalled Black & Decker® Thermal Coffeemakers is as follows:

The recalled coffeemakers make up to 8-cups of coffee and have a programmable countertop feature. The coffeemakers are silver and black with a stainless steel carafe. Model numbers TCM800 and TCM805 are printed on the rating plate on the bottom of the coffeemaker.

The recalled Black & Decker® Thermal Coffeemakers were sold at Home improvement and discount department retailers nationwide from March 2004 through April 2006, for about $40.
