The company has learned of 20 reports of coffee makers overheating, including 12 fires involving damage to counter tops, cabinet damage and melting on the floor. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the following model numbers:

- 100.90006.
The coffee makers were sold in the U.S. from August 2007 through April 2008 for between $30 and $100 US.
The products were made in China.
