CPSC, Calphalon Corp. Announce Recall of Stainless Steel Kettles
Calphalon Corp., Toledo, Ohio
Hazard
The kettle's cover traps steam inside of the kettle, causing an increase in pressure. This forces hot water to rise and escape through the spout, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these kettles immediately, to receive a free replacement cover.
Sold at
Department stores and specialty catalogs nationwide sold these kettles, between October 2001 and January 2002, for about $40.
Affected count
About 13,000
Injuries reported
CPSC and Calphalon have received reports of 13 incidents, including three minor burn injuries. Hot water splashed on two adult's hands and an 18-month-old child's scalp.
