Consumer safety officials are warning people to inspect their coffee machines before getting their morning caffeine boost. Serious burns could accompany the jolt you get from your cup of Joe.
Roughly 17,600 coffeemakers, which were sold on Amazon, Walmart.com and Ebay, are being recalled after officials received more than 100 reports of hot liquid or steam being released unexpectedly during the brewing process. Officials say the problem lies in a tube that can become clogged, leading to the steam or liquid escaping.
To date, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says it has received 107 reports of hot liquid or steam escaping the machine, resulting in at least 27 injuries, including first and second-degree burns that required medical treatment.
What's impacted?
The recall centers on Kidisle hot and iced coffee machines, with the model number KC101B. The single-serve machines measure about 11 inches tall and 6 inches wide and feature a 50-ounce detachable water tank. They can brew 6 to 14 ounces of coffee. Colors are are sold in black, white, and gray. They were sold exclusively online between June 2024 and April 2026 for about $49.
If you bought one, the CPSC is strongly advising you to stop using it immediately. Consumers can contact Kidisle for a full refund. You won't have to send in your device, but you will have to show that you have rendered it inoperable by unplugging it, cutting the power cord, and writing “recalled” on the machine. Take a picture and send it to the company at KidisleKC101Brecall@outlook.com to receive the rebate.

The latest urgent recall
The recall of the coffeemaker and the threat it poses are the latest in a series of urgent recalls from the CPSC.
Earlier this month, Ford issued a "do not drive" warning for more than 4,600 Bronco Sport and Maverick models from the 2021 to 2026 model years. That stemmed from the discovery that the front lower control arm ball joints of the vehicle’s suspension system may not have been assembled correctly. If that joint fails while the vehicle is moving, the driver could lose control of the steering.
Days later, Jeep's parent company, Stellantis, warned owners of 1.1 million Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators to avoid parking in their garages and keep their vehicles outside at all times. An electrical issue in the vehicles from the model years 2021-2025 could spark a fire—even when they’re turned off.
