What was recalled

This recall includes IMI Cornelius Pinnacle FCB frozen carbonate beverage dispensers manufactured between May 2002 and June 2004 with a specific motor drive system.

The names "Cornelius," "FCB," and "Pinnacle" are located on identification plates on the unit's right-side panel.

Hazard

The motor drive can overheat and cause the liquid contents to become hot. If this happens, the dispenser's nozzle can break and expose consumers to the hot liquid, posing a risk of burns.
