Nearly 2 million Tassimo coffeemakers are being recalled in North America according to the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission and its Canadian counterpart, Health Canada. The Tassimo Single-Cup Brewers from BSH Home Appliances uses plastic disks, or T Discs, which can burst during brewing and spray hot water and coffee grounds or tea leaves onto consumers, posing a burn danger.

There have been 140 reports of cases where the Tassimo machines have burned consumers during the beverage brewing process. In 37 of the incidents, victims received second degree burns. And in one case, a 10-year old Minnesota girl had to be hospitalized after receiving second-degree burns on her face and neck.

Both national safety agencies are warning consumers to immediately stop using the recalled Tassimo coffeemakers. The CPSC and Health Canada also recently warned consumers to stop using 4 million recalled Tassimo T Discs, single-serving plastic containers of coffee used in the brewing machines.
