The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recalled espresso makers with the stainless-steel safety valve “can burst and expel hot contents, posing burn or other injury hazards to consumers.”

Sixteen incidents have been reported including four injuries involving burns, scalding and hearing damage.

Consumers with recalled products can return them to IKEA for a refund.

The products bear a date stamp between 2040 and 2204.
