SINGAPORE: Home products company, IKEA, is recalling its FORSTA coffee/tea maker.
Pressure from the metal holder on the glass pot can cause it to break unexpectedly, posing a burn and laceration hazard.
In a statement, it
advised customers to immediately stop using the product and bring it
back to the Exchange and Returns counter at any IKEA store for a full
refund.
IKEA said it has received twenty reports of the glass pot
breaking, including twelve reports of burn injures from spilt
coffee/tea and one report of a laceration injury.
But none of the cases involved Singapore.
The product was sold at IKEA stores worldwide, including Singapore, between February and December last year.
