Which Bodum French Presses are recalled

CPSC: the Bodum name appears on the frame and inner lid of most models, and is engraved, along with product warnings, on the glass carafes. Additional photos and model-identifying information are available on the recall website. CPSC did not publish SKUs or UPCs — this page does not invent them.

Photos: see CPSC’s notice.

Why the glass carafe can break

CPSC: “The carafe can unexpectedly break during use if the glass carafe is damaged or cracked, including by use of a metal spoon to stir the coffee, posing a risk of serious burn injuries.”

CPSC: “Bodum USA has identified 70 reports of carafes breaking during use, including 48 reports of burns to consumers.”

This page is not medical advice. Seek care if you were burned.

Stop using metal spoons — what to do instead

CPSC says stop using metal spoons or utensils to stir coffee in the glass carafe immediately. Damaged or cracked carafes should not be used. The free plastic Bodum stirring spoon is meant to replace metal stirring; the warning label reminds consumers not to use cracked/damaged carafes and not to use metal spoons in the glass carafe.

How to get the free plastic spoon and warning label

CPSC: “Consumers should stop using metal spoons or utensils to stir coffee in the glass carafe immediately and contact Bodum to receive a plastic Bodum stirring spoon and warning label. The label reminds consumers not to use cracked or damaged carafes and not to use metal spoons to stir contents in the glass carafe in order to avoid damaging the glass, which can lead to breakage during use.”

  1. Stop using metal spoons or utensils in the glass carafe immediately.
  2. Do not use cracked or damaged carafes.
  3. Contact Bodum for a free plastic stirring spoon and warning label.
