WASHINGTON, March 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of FORSTA coffee and tea makers due to risk of injury.
The coffee and tea makers, imported from China and sold by IKEA stores nationwide from January 2010 through December 2010, are made of glass that can break unexpectedly under pressure, the commission said in a statement.
About 94,000 were sold in the United States and 34,000 in Canada by IKEA Home Furnishings of Conshohocken, Pa.
They were sold for between $6 and $10.
The recall includes 0.4 liter and 1 liter coffee and tea makers, which are made of glass and include a screen that is pressed to separate the liquid from the coffee grounds or the tea leaves.
The recalled items have supplier number 20325. The word "IKEA" is etched on the bottom of the glass.
Consumers were advised to stop using the coffee and tea makers and return them to the retailer for a full refund.
Consumers can call 888-966-4532 for information.
