This is by no means meant to be a complete list of product recalls. If you have specific concerns about an item that doesn't appear here, contact the manufacturer directly.
Watch out for that coffee maker on your counter, it just might set the kitchen on fire. Atico International USA is recalling its entire line of Signature Gourmet and Kitchen Gourmet 12 cup coffeemakers. Apparently some of the things have a bit of an electrical problem, which has already caused 6 reports of the thing igniting. And don’t let the company name fool you, these little babies were imported from (broken record time) China.
The recall affects around 392,000 of these coffee infernos which were sold exclusively at Walgreens between August 2003 and December 2006. Huh, I always wondered if anyone bought the small kitchen appliances at Walgreens, I guess the answer is YES. Atico recommends you stop using the coffeemaker immediately and contact them for a refund.
I’m sure some of you right now are saying, “Wait a minute, this isn’t a toy, or stroller, or some baby item, what gives?” Well, if you don’t know how coffee relates to parenting, I have to wonder if you even have kids. And yes, any vodka recalls will be reported here as well.
