Mr. Coffee Cone Filter Microwave Coffeemaker Recalled

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Mr. Coffee, inc., of Bedford Heights, OH, is voluntarily recalling the original version of its non-electric model QB1 Microwave Coffeemaker. This original microwave coffeemaker uses a cone-shaped filter. Under certain circumstances, the cone shaped brewer section may separate from the cup and possibly spill very hot coffee onto the user.

The CPSC was informed of this potential hazard by Mr. Coffee, inc. as a result of three consumer complaints and the company's own concerns about the potential for such separation. This separation may occur because of the extended height of the top brewer and its high center of gravity. There have been no additional reported incidents.

Mr. Coffee's original cone filter style microwave coffeemaker was distributed by Mr. Coffee from May 1990 through early June 1991. Approximately 338,850 units were sold for approximately $10 to $13 each. It was replaced in June 1991 by a new, shorter, basket filter style brewer which also avoids the earlier problem of separation and spills.

Consumers are asked to remove and return the metal blade from the bottom of the cone shaped brewer and destroy the cone shaped brewer body.
