Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) and BSH Home Appliances Corp. agreed to voluntarily recall about 1.7 million Tassimo single-cup coffee makers and 4 million Tassimo espresso discs in the U.S. and Canada due to burn hazards, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada said.

The Kraft-manufactured plastic espresso disc, or T Discs, that hold the coffee or tea can burst and spray hot liquid and coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers using the brewer and onto bystanders, posing a burn hazard, the agencies said.

There have been 140 reports of incidents with the BSH Home Appliance brewers spraying hot liquid, coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers, including 37 reports of second-degree burns. One incident involved a 10-year-old girl from Minnesota who received second-degree burns to her face and neck and had to be hospitalized. BSH Home Appliances is owned by BSH Bosch and Siemens AG (SI).

Related to the T Discs, there also have been 21 reports of incidents of hot liquid or coffee grounds spraying onto consumers and bystanders, including four reports of second-degree burns. One injury involved 2-year-old girl from Canada who received second-degree burns to her face.

BSH Home Appliances agreed to recall about 835,000 brewers in the U.S. and another 900,000 in Canada. This recall involves Tassimo brewers with the Bosch brand name, as well as Tassimo Professional brewers. Kraft agreed to recall 2.1 million T Disc packages in the U.S. and 1.9 million in Canada. This recall involves Gevalia, Maxwell House and Nabob brand espresso T Discs.
