They are urging everyone who owns these espresso makers to stop using them immediately and return them to IKEA for a full refund.

According to IKEA, the risk of bursting increased after they changed the material and construction of the safety valve.

The affected products are only those with silver or grey stainless steel safety valves.

They clarified that this recall does not affect other units and that no incidents involving these espresso makers have been reported in Singapore.

 

Customers can contact IKEA for a full refund

Highlighting the importance of their customers’ safety, IKEA urged those who bought METALLISK espresso makers to contact them for a full refund.

Customers may return the product to any IKEA outlet at Alexandra, Tampines or Jurong. They will be able to receive a full refund without needing to show a receipt.

Apologising for any inconvenience caused, IKEA added that the public may contact their Customer Contact Centre for more information.

Better to be safe than sorry

It’s fortunate that IKEA managed to detect the faulty espresso maker before any unpleasant incidents could happen here.

We applaud them for accepting responsibility and taking steps to ensure their customers’ safety.

If you or anyone you know owns this product, remember to stop using it and reach out to IKEA for a refund.
