An IKEA stovetop coffee maker has been urgently recalled nationwide.

A defect in the METALLISK Espresso Maker with the stainless-steel safety valve could cause it to “burst” and cause “burns, scalding or serious injury”, the ACCC warned.

The manufacturing defect is within the safety valve itself.

If it does not function properly it can “cause the product to burst,” IKEA stated in the product safety recall.

“The burst can cause a sudden separation between the top and lower half of the espresso maker.”

“If the espresso maker bursts during use, this can increase the risk of burns, scalding or serious injury.”

IKEA has advised customers to stop using the product immediately and return the product for a full refund or exchange.

Proof of purchase is not required.

To see if your MATALLISK has been recalled, look underneath the base of the product for the manufacturing date stamps “between 2040 and 2204”.

The product was available for purchase online and in store.
