Epoca International is recalling approximately 113,000 Primula Borosilicate two-quart clear glass whistling kettles because the glass vessel can break when heated. This defect causes hot contents to spill, creating a danger of cuts and burns for consumers. The firm has received nine reports of these kettles breaking, resulting in three injuries and property damage. The affected products were sold at major retailers including Target, Meijer, Ross, and online at Amazon from January 2012 through May 2015 for about $15.
The bottom of the glass kettle can shatter during heating, which causes boiling water and glass fragments to spill out onto the user, posing serious laceration and thermal burn hazards. Nine incidents have been reported, including three injuries.
Consumers should stop using the product immediately. Customers should either return the product to the retailer or contact Epoca International for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
