Bodum is recalling 5.9 million French Press coffee makers with replaceable 8-cup and 12-cup glass carafes. The affected Bistro, Brazil, Caffettiera, Chambord, Crema, Java, Jesper and Kenya models were sold in the United States from 1974 through October 2026, for about $15 to $65. They were available at Target, Walmart, coffee and home-goods stores, and online retailers. The glass carafe can break during use if it is cracked or damaged; stirring with a metal spoon or utensil can damage the glass and contribute to breakage. A suddenly breaking carafe can spill hot coffee and cause serious burns.
Bodum has received 70 reports of carafes breaking, including 48 reports of burns. The remedy is a plastic Bodum stirring spoon and a warning label, not replacement of the coffee maker. Consumers should stop using metal utensils to stir coffee and contact Bodum to obtain these items. The label warns against using a cracked or damaged carafe and against stirring with metal, which can damage the glass. Consumers can reach Bodum at 888-879-8213, by email at [email protected], or through the recall website, bodumfrenchpressrecall.expertinquiry.com; Bodum.com also provides recall information. The affected products were manufactured in Portugal and Thailand and imported by Bodum USA.
