50,000 Espresso Makers Recalled

Expresso Machine Faulty

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Atico International have announced a recall of more than 50,000 espresso makers sold under the name Espresso Express.

The government agency says that the machine’s heating element can separate from the base and cause burns or other injuries. Atico reports that they have been notified of 42 such incidents, including 9 burn injuries and 7 consumers who were struck by machine parts.

Consumers were cautioned to immediately cease using the machines and contact Atico at (877) 546-4835 for instructions.
