CPSC recalls 17,600 Kidisle coffee makers over burn injuries

If you have a Kidisle KC101B on your counter, stop using it now. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the hot-and-iced single-serve machines can clog, then release hot liquid or steam unexpectedly, creating a burn hazard that has already led to at least 27 injuries, including first- and second-degree burns requiring medical treatment.

The recall covers about 17,600 units sold online through Amazon.com, Walmart.com and eBay.com from June 2024 through April 2026 for about $49. The machines come in black, white and gray, stand about 11 inches high and 6 inches wide, and have a 50-ounce detachable water tank. They brew 6 to 14 ounces of coffee from grounds or pod-style inputs. To check yours, flip the machine over and look for model KC101B on the sticker on the underside; the product order receipt also identifies the Kidisle brand.

CPSC said the recall was announced June 11, 2026, under recall number 26-557, and it had received at least 107 incident reports tied to the coffeemaker. For a small countertop appliance, that is a startling number of complaints, and it tracks with the kind of failure coffee drinkers hate most: pressure building up inside a machine that should just be making a quick cup, then dumping hot coffee and steam where your hands are.

The remedy is a full refund, but CPSC is asking for proof that the product has been taken out of circulation. Consumers are being told to unplug the coffee maker, cut the power cord, mark the unit “Recalled” in permanent marker, and send a photo of the destroyed product to the company. That destruction-and-photo step is unusually strict, and it shows how seriously regulators are treating the burn risk.

CPSC lists Kidisle, of China, as the importer and ChangShaShiMengQiSiDianZiShangMaoYouXianGongSi, of China, as the manufacturer, with production in China. A public SaferProducts report describing one KC101B says pressure built until the cup exploded, spraying hot coffee, water and grounds, which is exactly the kind of failure that turns a cheap single-serve brewer into a kitchen hazard.
