WASHINGTON — Keurig is recalling some 7 million of its single-serve coffee brewing machines because of reported burns.
Keurig says its Mini Plus Brewing Systems, with model number K10, can overheat and spray water during brewing. Keurig says it had received about 200 reports of hot liquid escaping from the brewer, including 90 reports of burn-related injuries. The company warned that the glitch could occur if users brew more than two cups in rapid succession.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released details on the recall Tuesday. The recalled brewers have an identification number starting with "31" printed on the bottom. They were sold online and in stores in the U.S. and Canada between 2009 and 2014.
Shares of Keurig were down more than 3% in morning trading on Tuesday.
Consumers are being urged to call Keurig Green Mountain Inc. of Waterbury, Vermont, at 1-844-255-7886 to arrange for free repair or visit the company's website.
