WATERBURY, Vt.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., (GMCR) (NASDAQ: GMCR), a leader in specialty coffee and coffee makers, is aware that Sunbeam Products, Inc. (d/b/a Jarden Consumer Solutions, or aJCSa) a" in cooperation with the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada a" has announced a recall of the Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System.

Because there is the potential for confusion related to this matter, GMCR wants to clarify that Keurig Single Serve Brewer models manufactured by or for GMCRas Keurig business unit and sold under the Keurig brand are not involved in this recall, nor are any other brewers featuring Keurig Brewed technology manufactured by JCS or any other Keurig-licensed brewer manufacturers. JCS has a license from GMCRas Keurig business unit to use certain aspects of Keurigas technology to enable Mr. Coffee Single Cup brewers to use K-Cup packs.

According to the recall notice, the recall involves only Mr. Coffee brewers with model numbers BVMC-KG1, BVMC-KG1-001, BVMC-KG1-044, BVMC-KG1A, BVMC-KG1A-001, BVMC-KG1-BEA, BVMC-KG1BP-PAL, BVMC-KG1-WM, BVMC-KG1-WM-001, BVMC-KG1R-001, BVMC-KG1R-006, and BVMC-KG1W-001. It has been determined that steam can build up in the brewing chamber of the Mr. Coffee brewer, forcing the brewing chamber to open prematurely.

The recalled Mr. Coffee brewers incorporate some different design and construction elements than those single cup brewers manufactured by or for GMCRas Keurig business unit and sold under the Keurig brand, which are not susceptible to the issue described above that is impacting the recalled Mr. Coffee brewers.

GMCR does not expect the recall of Mr. Coffee brewers to impact its financial results or outlook.

Consumers can confirm if they own one of the recalled Mr. Coffee machines by checking the model number printed on the bottom of the brewer and comparing it to the model numbers involved in this recall as noted above and at [ www.mrcoffeerecall.com ]. According to the CPSC and JCS, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffeemaker and contact JCS at [ www.mrcoffeerecall.com ] or toll free at 800-993-8609 to receive instructions on how to obtain a replacement unit. GMCR has contacted consumers who purchased the involved brewer online from its consumer-direct websites a" Green MountainCoffee.com, Keurig.com or Keurig.ca a" to make them aware of the recall.

Additional questions about the recall should be directed to JCS at 800-993-8609.
