Is There a Recall on Keurig Coffee Makers?

The CPSC issued a recall in December 2014 for the Keurig MINI Plus Brewing System (model K10), covering units manufactured between late 2009 and mid-2014, after reports of the machine overheating during brewing and spraying hot liquid on users. The recall notice specifically stated no other Keurig models were affected. Always check the CPSC recall database at cpsc.gov for the most current list, since recall status can change.

Yes. New York follows strict products liability law, meaning you do not need to prove Keurig was negligent — only that the product was defectively designed, defectively manufactured, or carried an inadequate warning, and that defect caused your injury. You have three years from the date of injury to file under CPLR §214.

NY plaintiffs in products liability cases can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent scarring or disfigurement. Punitive damages may be available if the manufacturer knew of the defect and concealed it.

Not necessarily — a recall can actually strengthen your claim by showing the manufacturer knew the product was dangerous. However, a recall does not bar your lawsuit, and you can still sue even if no recall has been issued. The 3-year statute of limitations under CPLR §214 applies regardless.
