Tassimo Recall: Compensation for Burns Likely to Follow

by | Feb 10, 2012

Claims for Tassimo recall compensation are likely to follow the withdrawal of the popular coffee making machine in Canada and the United States, following the revelation that the machine´s T-disc – the plastic coffee container – could explode and shower bystanders with scalding water.

Burn injuries which were brought to the attention of the American Consumer Product Safety Commission included those sustained by a two-year-old girl, who received second-degree burns to her face after being splattered by hot water and coffee granules, and the case of a ten-year-old girl from Minnesota, whose burns to her face and neck were so severe that she required emergency hospital treatment.

In total, more than 160 personal injuries have been reported to the American Consumer Product Safety Commission, including thirty-seven cases of second-degree burns which required hospital treatment. The Consumer Product Safety Commission launched an investigation and discovered a design fault. As a result, more than 1.7 million Tassimo coffee making machines have now been recalled along with more than four million Gevalia, Maxwell House and Nabob espresso T-discs still believed to be in circulation

At the present time in Ireland, there has been no announcement made of a Tassimo recall. Compensation claims, however, can still be made if a person is scalded or burned by a Tassimo coffee making machine, subject to the circumstances through which the victim received their injury. Claims for Tassimo recall compensation should be made against the manufacturers – BSH Home Appliances Corporation of Irvine, California – with the assistance of a personal injury solicitor.
