What Is the Sensio Steam Espresso Machine Recall?

The Sensio recall involves Bella Pro Series and Cooks steam espresso machines. The recalled Bella Pro Series model number is 90195, and the recalled Cooks model number is 22395.

The machines are black with stainless-steel trim and measure about 6 inches by 12 inches. The model number is printed on a label on the bottom of the machine.

The recalled machines were sold at JCPenney stores and online at BestBuy.com and JCPenney.com. They were sold from August 2023 through January 2025 for about $40 to $60.

Consumers should compare the brand, model number, product appearance, purchase location, and purchase date against the CPSC recall notice. The recall does not apply to every Sensio coffee product unless the product matches the recalled model information.

Which Sensio Espresso Machines Are Recalled?

The recalled products include the following steam espresso machines:

• Bella Pro Series Steam Espresso Machine, model number 90195.
• Cooks Steam Espresso Machine, model number 22395.

Consumers should check the label on the bottom of the machine for the model number. If the label is missing or difficult to read, purchase records, product photos, packaging, order confirmations, or retailer communications may help confirm product identity.

Consumers should not continue using a recalled machine while waiting for a refund. CPSC instructs consumers to stop using the recalled machines immediately.

Reported Risks or Injuries

The reported hazard involves forceful ejection of the brew cup handle during use. CPSC says the ejection can cause the glass carafe to shatter, creating burn and laceration hazards.

Sensio received 18 reports of the handles ejecting. Eight of those reports involved burn and/or laceration injuries.

Burn injuries may occur if hot liquid or steam contacts the skin during the incident. Lacerations may occur if the glass carafe shatters and broken glass contacts the consumer.

More serious injuries may require urgent care, wound cleaning, stitches, burn treatment, follow-up care, scar evaluation, or infection monitoring. Consumers should document medical care, photos, damaged product parts, and any remaining glass fragments if an injury claim is reviewed.

How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?

The problem can occur during use when the brew cup handle forcefully ejects from the machine. CPSC states that this can cause the glass carafe to shatter and create burn and laceration hazards.

A legal investigation may examine the brew cup handle design, locking mechanism, carafe placement, warnings, instructions, testing records, complaint history, quality control, retailer communications, recall timing, and refund process. These records may help determine whether the design, manufacturing, warnings, testing, or post-sale response were adequate.

Potentially responsible parties may include Sensio, manufacturers, component suppliers, importers, distributors, retailers, online sellers, or other entities involved in designing, manufacturing, importing, selling, or warning about the recalled espresso machines. Liability depends on product identity, incident facts, causation, injury evidence, damages, available defendants, and applicable state law.

A recall does not automatically prove that any company is legally responsible for a specific burn or laceration injury. An individual review may focus on whether the machine was a recalled model, whether the handle ejected, whether the carafe shattered, and what injuries or losses resulted.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers may be affected if they purchased or used a recalled Bella Pro Series or Cooks steam espresso machine. Household members, guests, or other users may also be affected if they were nearby when the handle ejected or the carafe shattered.

People who experienced burns or cuts should consider preserving the recalled machine, carafe pieces, photos, videos, purchase records, packaging, medical records, prescription records, and recall communications. Evidence may be important because legal claims depend on product identification, causation, injury severity, and damages.

Consumers who still have a recalled machine should stop using it immediately and follow the refund instructions. Sensio’s refund process may require photographs showing that the machine has been marked as recalled and that the power cord has been cut.

Do I Qualify?

• Did you purchase or use a Bella Pro Series model 90195 or Cooks model 22395 steam espresso machine?
• Did the brew cup handle eject while the machine was being used?
• Did the glass carafe shatter, spill hot liquid, or create broken-glass exposure?
• Did you suffer burns, cuts, scarring, medical expenses, missed work, or other documented losses?
• Do you have the machine, carafe pieces, packaging, receipts, photos, videos, medical records, or recall communications?

A legal review can help determine eligibility by evaluating product identity, incident facts, injury evidence, medical treatment, damages, potentially responsible parties, retailer issues, and filing deadlines.

Legal Process Overview

Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the machine brand, model number, purchase date, seller, incident description, burn or cut location, treatment history, and any losses. Photos, order records, packaging, medical records, damaged carafe pieces, recall communications, and product images may help establish the basic facts.

Step 2: Investigation. The investigation may examine product identity, brew cup handle behavior, carafe damage, CPSC recall materials, retailer records, medical documentation, and communications with Sensio or retailers. Attorneys may also review whether the incident matches the handle-ejection and glass-shattering hazard described by CPSC.

Step 3: Filing. A supported claim may allege defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, retailer liability, or other product liability theories. Filing occurs only when the evidence and applicable law support a claim against one or more responsible parties.

Step 4: Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange product-design materials, testing records, complaint data, online sales records, warning materials, medical records, expert opinions, and testimony. Negotiations may focus on product identity, causation, injury severity, medical treatment, scarring, lost income, and available defendants.

Step 5: Resolution. A claim may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on proof of product involvement, defect evidence, medical documentation, damages, defenses, available defendants, retailer issues, and applicable law.
