New York - Personal injury attorneys report on the statement issued by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, BSH Home Appliance Corporation and Kraft Foods on February 9th regarding immediate product recalls related to the Tassimo Home Brewing System and T DISCs (The plastic containers holding the coffee or tea).

According to the safety notice, consumers using certain Tassimo Home Brewing System models have reported that T DISCs inserted into the coffee system rupture, causing hot liquids and coffee grounds to spray onto consumers. Because of the likeliness of a potential burn hazard to consumers, the product manufacturers have recalled certain Tassimo Home Brewing Systems and T DISCs.

Currently, over 140 consumer burn incidents have been reported as a result of the faulty Tassimo Brewing Systems and T DISCs. One severe incident involved a Minnesota pre-teen receiving second-degree burns to the face and neck, resulting in hospitalization.

T DISCs manufactures Gevalia, Maxwell House and Nabob have recalled specific T DISCs models said to have clogged and exploded in Tassimo Brewing Systems. Consumers have purchased over 2.1 million packages of faulty T DISCs to date. Tassimo Home Brewing Systems recalled include the Bosch brand name along with Tassimo Professional units.
