- Sources: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall dated June 11, 2026, Recalls.gov
Who should read this
- People who use single-serve or capsule-style coffeemakers at home
- Households that bought small kitchen appliances from Amazon, Walmart, or eBay
- Offices, shared kitchens, or dorm rooms using imported or gifted coffeemakers
- Anyone who has seen sudden hot water or steam bursts from a coffeemaker before
What matters first
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says Kidisle coffeemakers model KC101B should be stopped immediately. The concern is not a minor leak. Hot water or steam can eject unexpectedly when pressure builds inside the unit, creating a serious burn hazard.
This is worth immediate attention because the recall is backed by real incident numbers. CPSC says it knows of 107 reports of hot water or steam ejecting from the machines. At least 27 reports involved first- or second-degree burn injuries that required medical attention.
The affected product is a Kidisle hot and iced coffee maker sold in black, white, and gray. CPSC says the model number KC101B appears on the bottom label. The machines were sold on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay from June 2024 through April 2026 for about $49.
Three things to do now
- Check the bottom label for
KC101B. - If it matches, unplug it today and do not test it again.
- Read the refund steps before disposal because the recall process requires photo proof after cutting the power cord.
Three common situations
1. It burst once but seemed fine later
That is exactly the kind of event people tend to dismiss as user error or a cleaning issue. This recall says the more practical assumption is product risk, not operator error.
2. It came from overseas and never appeared in a local alert
That does not make it irrelevant. Many small imported appliances reach homes through gifts, direct purchases, office kitchens, or resale.
3. It sits in a shared office kitchen
Shared machines are often more dangerous because the buyer and the daily user are not the same person. If the model matches, stopping use right away matters more than figuring out who purchased it.
Practical checklist
- Check the bottom label for
KC101B - Look for Kidisle in the order history or receipt
- Review Amazon, Walmart, or eBay purchase records if needed
- Unplug the machine and do not power it on again
- Read the CPSC refund instructions before cutting the cord
- Keep photos or notes if hot water or steam already burst out
Easy to miss
This is not a low-level inconvenience. CPSC describes a serious injury risk, and the injury reports already include burns needing treatment. The safer choice is to stop using the machine first and sort out refunds second.

One-line takeaway
If the bottom label says KC101B, today is the day to unplug it, not to brew one more cup.
