What Is the Burn Hazard?

According to the CPSC, the kettle’s handle can loosen and separate from the kettle, causing hot contents to spill, posing a risk of serious injury due to a burn hazard.

When the handle of an electric kettle fails during pouring or lifting, near-boiling water can be released onto the user’s hands, arms, legs, feet, or torso. Scald burns from water at or near 212°F can produce severe injuries within seconds of contact.

Reported injuries linked to defective electric kettle handles can include:

• 2nd-degree burns with blistering and deep redness
• 3rd-degree burns requiring hospitalization and possible skin grafts
• Permanent scarring
• Scald injuries to the hands, arms, legs, feet, or torso

Which Products Are Affected?

The recalled kettles are stainless steel and were sold in black, silver, rose, gold, and pure-white. The model number and “ZWILLING” can be found on the bottom of the kettle and the bottom of the power base.
