Aldi is recalling around 28,000 Ambiano Single Serve Coffee Makers that were sold across 38 states.

The recall was triggered after Aldi received 25 reports of these coffee makers expelling hot water from the top of the machine, which could lead to burns.

Of these incidents, three have resulted in actual burn injuries.
