The product, in the report: GE Cafe Specialty 10-cup thermal carafe coffee maker, stainless steel finish with gold/bronze-looking trim, model number C7CDAAS2PS32.
I am writing to report what I believe is an unsafe coffee maker where the product may introduce metallic finish flakes into the carafe, leaving the possibility for a consumer to unknowingly ingest these flakes while drinking coffee from the carafe. The product is a GE Cafe Specialty Drip Coffee Maker with 10-cup Thermal Insulated Carafe, model number C7CDAAS2PS32. I first reported the issue to GE on January 7, 2025, via email. Their response was for me to contact via phone which I did on January 17, 2025. The GE representative told me they would pass along the feedback and image I provided to their engineers. On the phone and via email I expressed to GE that I was concerned my family and I have been unwittingly drinking flakes of finish. As of today, February 11, 2025, I have not received a response from GE.
I purchased the C7CDAAS2PS32 coffee maker via Amazon.com on May 2, 2022. It appears to me that I purchased the item directly from Amazon, not a third-party reseller. The machine features a plastic flange at the bottom of the brew basket where it contacts the top of the carafe. The flange has a glossy, fake metallic finish. In early January 2025, I noticed the finish was flaking off and immediately ceased use of the machine. The issue was difficult to notice because its location on the bottom of the brew basket. The carafe lid features openings through which these flakes might be able to enter the carafe and into the coffee to be consumed by a person. The product has only been used at my house, primarily one or twice per day to brew coffee for my wife and I. We occasionally used it 2-3 times per day when we had houseguests. I am not aware of injuries from use of this product, though I believe there is a risk of injury/illness.
