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 retailer advised consumers to stop using the coffee makers and return them to Sears or Kmart stores for a free replacement.
Sears shares rose 54 cents to $87.62 Tuesday.
