NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bodum USA, Inc., and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today announced the voluntary recall of certain Bodum 8- and 12-Cup French Press Coffee Makers with replaceable glass carafes.

Bodum also issued the following statement:

“As a family-owned business, Bodum takes particular pride in making household products – including coffee and tea makers – that are both high quality and affordable, and we have used that formula to benefit millions of families worldwide for the past 72 years. To maintain the trust and satisfaction of our customers, we pride ourselves in using high-quality materials and ensuring our products meet or exceed all relevant safety standards.

Given the emphasis we put on product safety, we take any reports of injury extremely seriously. That is why we are we are announcing a voluntary recall of certain Bodum 8- and 12- Cup French Press Coffee Makers with replaceable glass carafes in cooperation with the CPSC. This recall is an opportunity to reinforce warnings against using a cracked or damaged carafe and in particular, against using metal spoons to stir coffee in the glass carafe, which can damage the glass and lead to breakage during use. While the rate of reported incidents involving carafe breakage during use is extremely low, especially considering that Bodum has sold millions of these products in the U.S. for decades, this recall will further encourage the safe use of our French Press Coffee Makers. 

We will be providing affected consumers in the U.S. with a free Bodum-designed plastic stirring spoon and an additional warning label reminding them not to use metal utensils in the glass carafes. Going forward, these products will be sold with the plastic stirring spoon and an additional warning label. As the North American market leader in this product category, Bodum is taking these additional actions to reinforce our instructions and warnings about the safe use of the product.

For nearly three quarters of a century, our company has worked diligently to create products that prioritize safety for the millions of customers who have come to rely on us. That trust is the bedrock of our company, and we will continue to earn it with every Bodum item we make.”
