Starbucks Coffee Company

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Starbucks Coffee Company has recalled 73,000 Starbucks Barista Aroma Stainless Steel 8-Cup Coffee Brewers due to fire hazards. The coffee brewer has defective electrical wiring that can result in overheating, smoking, burning and melting, posing a possible fire hazard. Starbucks has received 23 reports of melting in the plastic housing of the brewers. The brewers were manufactured in China and sold at Starbucks company-owned and operated stores nationwide between March 2005 and September 2006 for about $100. Consumers should stop using the recalled coffee brewers immediately.
