Black & Decker Spacemaker Coffeemakers Recalled
About 584,000 Black & Decker brand Spacemaker Coffeemakers are being recalled by the distributor, Applica Consumer Products Inc., because the brew basket can shift out of alignment allowing hot water to overflow. This poses a scalding and burn hazard to consumers.
To date, Applica has received 235 reports of hot water overflowing and contacting consumers, including 10 reports of second-degree burns.
The recalled product is the Black & Decker-branded Spacemaker coffeemaker. The product has an under-cabinet mount, programmable digital clock/timer, removable water reservoir, and either a 12-cup glass carafe or an 8-cup thermal carafe. Only model numbers ODC440, ODC440B, ODC450 and ODC460 are included in the recall. The model number can be located on the back of the coffeemaker.
The coffeemakers were sold at major retailers nationwide, including K-Mart, Kohl's, Target, Wal-Mart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Amazon.com, from March 2006 through March 2009 for between $60 and $70.
