Gevalia T Disc
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada and Kraft Foods Global Inc. have announced a voluntary recall of Tassimo espresso T Discs due to serious reports of burn injuries associated with the product. The recall includes 2.1 million packages in the United States and 1.9 million packages in Canada.
The recall has been issued due to problems with the plastic disc, or T Disc, that holds the coffee. These discs may burst, spray hot liquid and coffee grounds onto consumers using the brewer and onto bystanders. To date, there have been 21 reports of incidents of hot liquid and/or coffee grounds spraying onto consumers and bystanders, including four reports of second-degree burn injuries. One injury involved 2-year-old girl from Canada who received second-degree burns to her face.
