FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 17, 2012 –
Focus Products Group International, LLC announces the following
voluntary recall.  Consumers should immediately stop using the
Cocoa Latte™ Hot Drink Maker and contact the Focus Products
Call Center for instructions on how to return the product and
receive a replacement. The machines were sold under the following
makes and model numbers:

  • West Bend
    • 65032
  • Back to Basics
    • CM300BK, CM300BKL, CM300BLSS, CM300BR, CM300BRBRL CM300BRL,
      CM300W

Focus Products of Lincolnshire, IL, is voluntarily recalling
Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Makers because a small bushing inside the
container has the potential to leach lead. To date, Focus
Products has received no notice of any consumer complaints.
However, the company’s independent testing revealed the
potential problem, and out of an abundance of caution, the company
voluntarily decided to recall the product.

The only affected products are the Cocoa Latte Hot
Drink Makers, makes and model numbers listed
above.
  The Cocoa Grande™ Hot Drink Maker
is NOT affected by this recall.  The Cocoa Latte Hot Drink
Makers shipped nationwide starting in 2004 through October 12,
2012. The affected products come in a variety of colors with
transparent pitchers, and were sold primarily in the United States
through various retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, through
various e-retailers such as Amazon.com and through Focus
Products’ online store.

Consumers in possession of a Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Maker should
contact Focus Products’ Call Center at 1-888-943-5202.
