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.
