CHICAGO (AP)- Sears Holdings Corp. voluntarily recalled 145,000 Kenmore brand coffee makers because the wiring can overheat and cause fires or burns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday.

The recall includes 12-cup Kenmore and Kenmore Elite Coffee makers sold through Sears, Sears Hardware and Kmart stores as well as online from August 2007 through April.

The company and the agency said there have been 20 reports of coffee makers overheating, including 12 fires and causing damage to counter tops, cabinets and the floor. No injuries have been reported.

The retailer advised consumers to stop using the coffee makers and return them to Sears or Kmart stores for a free replacement.
