CPSC, Drinkmaker of Sweden AB Announce Recall of Home Soda Machines
What was recalled
The recalled soda machines are shaped like coffee makers, with a white exterior and a black lid, under which a carbon dioxide container and mixing ingredients are placed. The model name, "Drink Master," "Drink Maker," "The Drink Machine," or "The Carbonator" is printed in black on the front of the machine. Under the lid are the words "Made in Sweden." Soda machines sold after 1996 are not being recalled.

Components inside the soda machine can break apart, posing a serious risk of lacerations to consumers, who can be struck by shrapnel.
