Who'd have thought they could sell that many to
begin with?
From http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06160/696855-28.stm
Applica Consumer Products Inc. is recalling about 420,000 Black & Decker
brand thermal coffee makers. The coffee maker may not turn off as
programmed, causing the unit to overheat and melt, and posing a risk of
fire and burn injury.
The recalled coffee makers make up to eight cups of coffee and have a
programmable countertop feature. The coffee makers are silver and black
with a stainless steel carafe. Model numbers TCM800 and TCM805 are printed
on the rating plate on the bottom of the coffee maker.
Home improvement and discount department stores sold the coffee makers
from March 2004 through April 2006 for about $40.
Consumers should contact Applica for instructions on receiving a
replacement Black & Decker brand household product.
For additional information, contact Applica at 1-800-239-7145 from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or go to the firm's Web site at
www.acprecall.com.
