Kidisle Coffee Maker Injury Lawsuit

The CPSC recall issued June 11, 2026, No. 26-557, concerns a clogging hazard that can cause hot liquid or steam to accumulate and escape unexpectedly during use.

The federal recall identifies these details:

• Product: Kidisle-branded hot and iced single-serve coffeemaker, model KC101B.
• Units recalled: Approximately 17,600.
• Reported incidents: At least 107 reports of unexpected hot-liquid or steam releases.
• Reported injuries: At least 27, including first- and second-degree burns requiring medical treatment.
• Sales period: June 2024 through April 2026.
• Sales channels: Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and eBay.com.
• Original price: Approximately $49.
• Recall remedy: Full refund through Kidisle after completing the required verification and disposal steps.

The CPSC identifies Kidisle, of China, as the importer and a separate company in China as the manufacturer.

Why Can Kidisle KC101B Coffee Makers Release Hot Liquid or Steam?

The CPSC identifies clogging as the condition that can cause hot liquid or steam to build up and discharge suddenly.

The recall does not establish which internal component, if any, failed in a particular machine.

The appliance, its operating instructions, and details of the brewing cycle may help determine how an injury occurred.

The June 2026 recall covers Kidisle KC101B hot and iced single-serve coffee makers.

The federal notice does not include other Kidisle coffee maker models.

Consumers can identify an affected machine using the following details:

• Model number: KC101B, printed on a sticker underneath the machine.
• Appearance: Black, white, and gray coloring.
• Dimensions: Approximately 11 inches tall and six inches wide.
• Water reservoir: A 50-ounce detachable water tank.
• Brew sizes: Six to 14 ounces per serving.
• Purchase information: The Kidisle brand may be identified on the online order receipt.

Compare the model-number sticker with the official Kidisle recall notice rather than relying on the color or shape of the machine alone.

Consumers should not operate a suspected recalled machine again to check whether it develops the same malfunction.

Where Were the Recalled Kidisle Coffee Makers Sold?

The recalled coffee makers were sold on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and eBay.com from June 2024 through April 2026.

They were manufactured in China and sold for approximately $49.

An online purchase history, order confirmation, or payment record may help identify a recalled machine even if its packaging is no longer available.

The CPSC reported at least 27 injuries, including first- and second-degree burns that required medical treatment, associated with the recalled KC101B machines.

The recall notice does not specify the treatment received or long-term outcomes in each reported case.

Hot coffee, water, or steam can cause burns when released toward someone standing near the machine during brewing.

Potential injuries from an unexpected release include:

• First-degree burns: Superficial skin injuries that may cause redness and pain.
• Second-degree burns: Partial-thickness injuries involving deeper skin layers, often with blistering and significant pain.
• Deeper burns: Severe tissue damage that may require specialized treatment, although the CPSC did not identify third-degree burns among the reported Kidisle injuries.
• Scarring or sensitivity: Lasting changes that can occur after deeper burns or complicated wound healing.
• Other complications: Infection, restricted movement, or eye injuries if hot liquid or steam reaches the face.

Injury severity depends on the temperature of the liquid, the duration of contact, and the part of the body exposed.

Someone with significant blistering, burns to the face or hands, eye exposure, or another potentially serious injury should seek prompt medical attention.

Medical records and photographs taken during recovery can document the injury, treatment, and any lasting limitations.

The CPSC directs owners to stop using recalled Kidisle coffeemakers immediately.

Kidisle offers a full refund through a process that requires consumers to disable the machine and document the result.

Under the CPSC recall instructions, consumers requesting a refund are asked to unplug the machine, cut its power cord, write Recalled on the appliance in permanent marker, and submit a photograph showing the model number and cut cord.

The recall notice directs consumers to send the required photographs to KidisleKC101Brecall@outlook.com.

Consumers should consult the current CPSC instructions before beginning the refund procedure.

If You Were Injured, Preserve the Machine Before Altering It

An injured consumer should preserve evidence before following instructions that require altering or destroying the appliance.

The original machine may help establish how the hot-liquid release occurred.

If you were injured, stop using the machine and consider obtaining legal advice before cutting the cord, disassembling it, returning it, or disposing of it.

Keep the appliance secured where it cannot be operated and do not attempt to recreate the malfunction.

Receiving a product refund is different from obtaining compensation for medical treatment or other losses caused by an injury.

A person injured by an unexpected hot-liquid or steam release may have a product liability claim if evidence shows that an actionable defect or inadequate warning caused the injury.

The recall and prior incident reports may be relevant, but each claim requires evidence connecting the machine to the injuries.

An attorney may consider:

• Whether the machine was a recalled Kidisle KC101B or another identifiable Kidisle product.
• Whether it became clogged, stopped dispensing, or released hot liquid or steam unexpectedly.
• Whether it was being used in a normal or reasonably foreseeable manner.
• Whether the release caused burns or other documented injuries.
• Whether the person obtained medical treatment and incurred related losses.
• Whether the machine, purchase records, photographs, or witness information remain available.
• Whether the injury occurred within the applicable state’s filing deadline.

An injured consumer does not need to identify the precise defect before requesting a legal assessment.

Simply owning a recalled KC101B does not qualify someone for personal injury compensation.

Who Could Be Responsible for a Kidisle Coffee Maker Injury?

The CPSC lists Kidisle as the importer and identifies a separate China-based manufacturer.

Depending on state law, the evidence may support claims involving an importer, manufacturer, distributor, or seller.

Potential legal theories include design defects, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings, depending on what the evidence establishes.

The machine, instructions, and circumstances of the incident may help identify any legally responsible parties.

The original machine may be important physical evidence because Kidisle’s recall remedy requires owners to disable it.

Photographs and medical records can help document the malfunction and injuries.

Useful evidence may include:

• The Kidisle KC101B coffee maker, its power cord, reservoir, lid, and any damaged or detached components.
• A clear photograph of the model-number sticker on the underside of the machine.
• The coffee pod, reusable filter, or ground coffee used during the incident, if still available and safe to preserve.
• Photographs or videos showing the coffee maker, spilled contents, nearby surfaces, and damaged clothing.
• Amazon, Walmart, or eBay order confirmations, receipts, and payment records.
• The instruction manual, original packaging, warnings, and recall communications.
• Emergency room records, burn-treatment notes, medical bills, and photographs of injuries during healing.
• Witness accounts, information about missed work, and communications with the importer or seller.

A written account of which brewing setting was selected and what happened immediately before the release may also be useful.

Do not continue operating the recalled machine to capture additional photographs or video of the malfunction.

If liability is established, an injured person may seek financial compensation for medical treatment, lost income, and other losses.

Available damages depend on the injury, its lasting effects, and applicable state law.

Potential compensation may include:

• Emergency treatment, specialist appointments, wound care, medication, and other medical expenses.
• Future medical expenses for wound treatment, rehabilitation, or scar management supported by medical evidence.
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity if the injury affects employment.
• Physical pain, emotional distress, and other compensable non-economic losses.
• Permanent scarring, disfigurement, or reduced mobility caused by the burns.
• Other documented losses, including property damage to clothing or nearby surfaces where recognized under applicable law.

The product refund is separate from compensation for burn injuries.

There is no verified standard settlement amount for Kidisle KC101B injuries, and compensation is not guaranteed.
