Whirlpool has recalled approximately 40,200 KitchenAid 1.7 Liter Electric Kettles because the handle can loosen and separate from the kettle body. If the handle detaches while the kettle contains hot liquid, it can spill and cause serious burns. There have been 79 reports of handles separating in the U.S. and 19 in Canada, resulting in four total reports of minor burn injuries. Consumers should immediately stop using these kettles and contact Whirlpool for a free replacement.
The handle on the kettle can unexpectedly loosen and detach during use, causing hot water or tea to spill onto the user. This defect has already resulted in multiple reports of minor burn injuries and nearly 100 reported handle failures across North America.
