Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20251006-DB065-2147327298. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: Ninja Ninja PB051 Single-Serve Pods & Grounds Specialty (Ninja PB051 Single-Serve Pods & Grounds Specialty Coffee Maker). Incident: I was using my Ninja PB051 Single-Serve Pods & Grounds Specialty Coffee Maker this morning to make a cup of coffee. I have had the product for less than a year and only use bottled water. I ensure after each use the product is clean. However, this morning, I put in a pod and pressed to brew 12 oz. After a moment of it trying to dispense water (but not dispensing), lights on the top began to flash and smoke came billowing out the top. I shut it off and went to open the top (expecting that there was something burning inside and I would need to extinguish it) but very hot coffee grounds exploded all over my kitchen. They ended up on my arms, my shirt, my pants, my floor, my wall, my carpet, the stove, the refrigerator. I now have a blistering burn on my arm.
