Keurig Recalls Millions Of 'Mini Plus' Coffee Makers

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - Keurig is recalling some 7 million of its single-serve coffee brewing machines because of reported burns.

Keurig says its Mini Plus Brewing Systems, with model number K10, can overheat and spray water during brewing. The Vermont-based company says it had received about 200 reports of hot liquid escaping from the brewer, including 90 reports of burn-related injuries.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released details on the recall Tuesday. The recalled brewers have an identification number starting with "31" printed on the bottom. They were sold online and in stores in the U.S. and Canada between 2009 and 2014.

Consumers are being urged to call Keurig Green Mountain Inc. at 1-844-255-7886 to arrange for free repair.

In the meantime, Keurig said consumers can still use the recalled brewers.

"We recommend you avoid brewing more than two cups in rapid succession and maintain an arm's length distance from the brewer during the brewing process," the company said in a statement.
