Re-activateStarbucks today recalled 530,000 'Barista' blade coffee grinders because they can turn on unexpectedly or fail to turn off. Starbucks has gotten 176 reports of the grinders malfunctioning including three that resulted in hand lacerations when the grinders turned on unexpectedly during cleaning, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The recall involves models in eight different colors from Starbucks and one brown metallic model branded Seattle's Best. Made by Tsann Kuen (Zhangzhou) Enterprises of China, the grinders were sold in Starbucks and Seattle's Best coffee stores nationwide from March 2002 through March 2009 for about $30.
Starbucks is asking consumers to stop using the coffee grinders and to contact the company to receive a free replacement. Call Starbucks toll free at (866) 276-2950 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. MT or visit the company's Web site at www.starbucks.com for more information.
