Hamilton Beach Recalls Coffee Makers: Hamilton Beach Inc. is recalling 42,500 drip coffee makers because of a potential fire hazard.

The North Carolina-based company has received 25 reports of the coffee makers catching fire. The recall is limited to models 816-2 and 816-3 manufactured between November, 1987, and November, 1988, and sold nationwide. Consumers may contact Hamilton Beach at (800) 334-2785.
