Latest News & Updates
March 2025
The CPSC announced Sensio’s recall of Bella Pro Series and Cooks Steam Espresso machines because the brew cup handle can forcefully eject during use, shatter the glass carafe, and create burn and laceration hazards. Consumers were instructed to stop using the recalled espresso machines immediately and contact Sensio for a refund [1].
What Is the Sensio Steam Espresso Machine?
The recalled products are Bella Pro Series Steam Espresso Maker, model 90195, and Cooks Steam Espresso Maker, model 22395. Both machines are black with stainless steel trim and measure about six inches wide and 12 inches high.
The machines have “Bella Pro Series” or “Cooks” printed on the steaming chamber. The model number is identified as the “Item” number on a sticker located underneath the machine.
The recalled espresso machines were sold at JCPenney stores nationwide and online at BestBuy.com and JCPenney.com from August 2023 through January 2025 for about $40 to $60.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Forceful brew cup handle ejection
- Shattered glass carafe injuries
- Burns from hot water, steam, or espresso
- Lacerations from broken glass
- Potential scarring, infection, or follow-up medical care in more serious cases
How Does the Problem Occur?
The injury risk occurs when the brew cup handle ejects during use. If the handle releases under pressure, it can strike or disrupt the glass carafe, causing hot liquid and broken glass to create immediate hazards for the user or anyone nearby.
Steam espresso machines can create added risk because hot water, pressure, steam, and glass components are present during ordinary brewing. A sudden failure can leave little time for a consumer to move away before burns or cuts occur.
Who May Be Affected?
- Consumers who purchased recalled Bella Pro Series or Cooks Steam Espresso machines
- People burned by hot liquid or steam during use
- Users cut by shattered glass from the carafe
Who May Be Liable?
- Sensio Inc., the importer identified in the recall
- Manufacturers or component suppliers, if supported by the facts
- Retailers or online sellers, where legally applicable
- Other parties involved in design, testing, warnings, instructions, or distribution
Do I Qualify?
- Did you purchase a Bella Pro Series or Cooks Steam Espresso machine?
- Does the machine show model number 90195 or 22395?
- Did the brew cup handle eject during use?
- Did the glass carafe shatter or hot liquid escape?
- Did you suffer burns, cuts, medical bills, scarring, or other losses?
- Do you still have the espresso machine, receipt, photos, packaging, or medical records?
