Bodum Recalls French Press Due to Carafe Safety Risks

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Bodum USA, Inc., and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have announced a voluntary recall of certain Bodum 8- and 12-Cup French Press Coffee Makers with replaceable glass carafes. The recall affects products sold in the United States and is in response to reports of carafe breakage during use, which can result in injury.

Bodum, a family-owned Danish company founded in 1944, has a long history of producing household products, including coffee and tea makers, that are both high quality and affordable. The company prides itself on using high-quality materials and ensuring that its products meet or exceed all relevant safety standards. Given the emphasis Bodum places on product safety, the company has taken the voluntary recall of these French Press Coffee Makers as an opportunity to reinforce warnings about the safe use of the product.

The recall is a direct result of reports of carafe breakage during use, which can be caused by using a cracked or damaged carafe, or by using metal spoons to stir coffee in the glass carafe. 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, the company is taking this recall as a chance to further encourage the safe use of its French Press Coffee Makers.

Bodum 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 its instructions and warnings about the safe use of the product.

Founded in Denmark in 1944, BODUM® has become a global icon for innovative design and high-quality coffee gear. From the legendary French press to sleek pour-over brewers and stylish glassware, BODUM® is all about combining functionality and elegance. The company is committed to maintaining the trust and satisfaction of its customers, and this recall is a testament to its commitment to safety.

The voluntary recall of these Bodum 8- and 12-Cup French Press Coffee Makers is a reminder of the importance of adhering to safety guidelines and the potential consequences of not doing so. As the North American market leader in this product category, Bodum is taking this opportunity to reinforce its instructions and warnings about the safe use of the product.
