If the bowl is pierced, the coolant could commingle with the ice cream mixture during the mixing process.
PSA said in its recall notice that this defect had already taken place.
There is a risk of people developing serious illness if they eat the coolant.
Owners should immediately stop using the machine, and return it to their nearest Aldi store for a full refund.
