Coffee News: KitchenAid coffee makers recalled over fire risk

"Owners of KitchenAid 10-cup and 12-cup coffee makers purchased in Canada between 2001 and 2005 are being advised to stop using the machines because of a fire risk.

Whirlpool Canada announced a recall of about 50,000 of the machines on Thursday.

The coffee makers "contain an internal electrical component that can overheat and ignite, posing a fire hazard to consumers," said the news release from Whirlpool.

The affected units ranged in price from $119.99 to $179.99 and were sold between 2001 and 2005 in Onyx Black and White."
