The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of roughly 6 million Bodum French press coffee makers. According to the agency's notice, the glass carafes can break during use if they are damaged or cracked, or if a metal spoon is used to stir the coffee. The agency reports 70 breakage incidents, 48 of which caused burns. The models were sold from 1974 through October 2026 at Amazon, Target, Walmart and other retailers. Owners are told to stop using metal utensils in the carafe, avoid cracked carafes, and contact Bodum for a plastic stirring spoon and warning label.
