Starbucks is recalling about 230,000 Bodum + Starbucks recycled coffee presses in the United States and about 33,200 units in Canada.
The coffee press’ plunger knob can break and expose the metal rod, posing a laceration hazard.
Starbucks has received eight reports of the plunger’s knob breaking in the U.S. and one report of it breaking in Canada, resulting in lacerations or puncture injuries.
This recall involves Bodum + Starbucks co-branded coffee presses made partially from recycled materials. The 8-cup French coffee press’ cylindrical glass beaker, screen, and plunger are held in place by a plastic dark gray frame with locking lid and a light gray handle and knob.
The coffee presses measure about 9 inches high by about 4 inches in diameter. SKU number 011063549 is printed on a white label on the bottom of the base. Bodum and Made in Portugal are embossed on the bottom of the dark gray plastic base.
The coffee presses were sold in Starbucks stores nationwide and online at Starbucks.com from November 2016 through January 2019 for about $20.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffee presses, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advised. Consumers should contact Starbucks for instructions on how to return the coffee press to receive a full refund in the form of store credit. Returns won’t be accepted in stores.
