More than 600,000 Mr. Coffee single-cup brewers were recalled after consumers reported 61 burn injuries from spewing steam and coffee grounds. The August recall pulled back the made-in-China products from retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Wal-Mart. Some 520,000 units in the U.S. and 80,700 in Canada, all imported by Jarden Consumer Solutions, were affected.
