Types of Product Liability Claims

- Design defects: This occurs when the design of the coffee maker may be inherently flawed and causes injuries to users. For example, a coffee maker that explodes due to a faulty heating element could be considered a design defect.

- Manufacturing defects: This occurs when an individual coffee maker is defective due to errors or accidents during the manufacturing process. Coffee makers that have missing or incorrect parts, or that are not properly sealed, may fall into this category.

- Failure to warn: Coffee makers must generally be accompanied by adequate warnings about potential dangers. If a coffee maker lacks appropriate warnings about the possibility of burns, and someone is injured as a result, the manufacturer may be liable.

Coffee Maker Complaints

Numerous complaints have been made alleging defective coffee makers from users burned from exploding Kcups or water. Kcups can explode when pressure builds up inside if the coffee machine doesn’t work properly. Coffee maker water can also get superheated and explode.

Injuries have included second-degree burns, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC has investigated numerous complaints of coffee makers allegedly exploding and causing burn injuries. The agency has allegedly received nearly hundreds of reports of K-Cup explosions, resulting in more than 100 people being injured, including several who suffered second- or third-degree burns.

If you’ve been burned by a coffee maker, you can also report the injury on CPSC’s website.

About a minute after the customer put in the coffee capsule & closed the lid to lock, the lid exploded open with force. Hot coffee grounds & liquid exploded upwards into his eye & face, & all over kitchen ceiling & walls. His face got burned, and his eye was red. He was treated in the emergency room.

Coffee maker companies have not always been forthcoming in admitting any responsibility for the injuries.
