Change of material and construction
According to IKEA, the risk has increased after a "change of material and construction" of the safety valve.
Therefore, only the products with the stainless steel safety valve, which is silver or grey in colour, are included in the recall.
The product's instruction manual comes with a warning to always turn the safety valve away when the espresso maker is in use.
The valve is labelled "5" on the diagram:
