The product, in the report: GE 5 cup digital coffee maker
I had purchased a GE 5 cup coffee maker from Wal Mart and the handle fell off shortly after.I purchased another of the same kind and it happened again. This would in my opinion be a major defect that could cause serious burns and even cuts from a broken carafe.Please see I have notified Select Brands.
Dear [REDACTED];
I apologize for the delay in providing you a replacement carafe. I currently do not have any in stock.
I will get a carafe to you as soon as possible.
Please send your mailing address to me by return email.
Thanks for your patience.
