Continuum has recalled approximately 56,000 Lenox-branded 2.5 Quart Whistling Stainless Steel Tea Kettles because they can expel hot water through the top during use. There have been 14 reports of this occurring, including four reports of burn injuries, some of which were severe. These kettles were sold in various colors at major retailers nationwide between September 2013 and November 2017. Consumers should stop using the kettles immediately and contact Continuum for a refund.
The kettles can suddenly eject boiling water through the top lid or spout while in use, which can cause severe burns to the user or anyone nearby. Four individuals have already reported suffering burn injuries from this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tea kettles and contact Continuum for a full refund if proof of purchase is available. If not, consumers will be entitled to a refund of $29.99.
