CreaMiser Refrigerated Creamer Dispensers Recalled by WhiteWave
WhiteWave Foods, which owns CreaMiser Products Corp, has voluntarily recalled certain models of CreaMiser refrigerated coffee creamer dispensers marketed for use in certain convenience stores and other food service operations.
WhiteWave Foods received two reports of creamer dispensers catching fire at repair facilities. Upon further investigation, the company discovered that a relay inside the temperature controller of the creamer dispensers can overheat, posing a fire hazard. No injuries have been reported. WhiteWave worked with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to voluntarily recall model numbers 200, 210 and 400, with digital thermometers with a red LED display and the following serial numbers:
