What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (glass breakage) where injury has been reported (lacerations requiring stitches), but no fatalities or severe injuries are documented, fitting the 'High' criteria for reported injuries without critical outcomes.

Plain-English summary

Bradshaw International Inc. is recalling approximately 85,000 Bialetti coffee presses sold in the United States and 300 in Canada. The recalled products feature a glass beaker in a plastic frame with a stainless steel metal plunger and were sold in blue, green, black, and red. The coffee presses hold eight cups of water and were sold at retailers including Fred Meyer, Kroger, Ross, Target, HomeGoods, and Amazon.com from July 2016 through March 2017 for between $15 and $20.

The recall was issued because the glass beakers can break during normal use, posing a laceration hazard to users. The firm has received three reports of the glass beakers breaking and cutting fingers, resulting in two consumers needing stitches. The affected units have a date stamp of March 2017 or earlier printed on the underside of the plunger in a dial date code.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffee presses and contact Bradshaw International for a free replacement coffee press. The company can be reached toll-free at 877-614-9571 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or online at www.bradshawintl.com by clicking on "Recalls".
