Washington, D.C. – The Bodum French Press coffee maker recall covers about 5.9 million coffee makers in the United States after reports of glass carafes breaking during use.
The affected product is a Bodum French press coffee maker with a replaceable glass carafe, used to brew coffee by pressing a metal filter through hot water and ground coffee. The issue is that the glass carafe can break during use and spill hot coffee.
The Bodum glass carafe recall, announced on October 29 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), covers several popular Bodum models with replaceable glass carafes.
The affected products include 8-cup and 12-cup French presses sold through retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Bodum USA is offering consumers a plastic stirring spoon and a warning label as part of the recall remedy.
Why Was the Bodum French Press Coffee Maker Recall Issued?
The Bodum French Press coffee maker recall was issued because glass carafes could break during use, potentially spilling hot coffee and causing burn injuries.
According to the CPSC, Bodum USA received 70 reports of glass carafes breaking, including 48 reports of burn injuries. Stirring coffee with metal spoons or other utensils can also damage the glass and increase the risk of breakage.
The company worked with the CPSC to recall about 5.9 million coffee makers in the United States. This Bodum glass carafe recall covers products sold between 1974 and October 2026, priced between $15 and $65.
