What’s the Problem?
This recall affects the stainless-steel tea kettle with a brushed gold finish that was included in the winter CAUSEBOX subscription box along with 5 other items, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) [1].
“The kettles can expel hot water and/or excessive steam during use, posing a burn hazard,” CPSC said.
“Gramr has received 122 reports of the kettles expelling hot water and/or steam, including 18 reports of minor burn injuries.”
The recalled tea kettles measure about 5.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches from the bottom of the kettle to the top of the handle. The words “Rose & Fitzgerald” are stamped on the bottom of the kettle.
Affected kettles were sold online in 2021 “Winter Box” seasonal assortments from November 2020 through April 2021 for between $50 and $55 (exclusive of promotional discounts). The kettle was also sold separately online from December 2020 through February 2021 for about $100.
If you purchased a tea kettle that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact Gramr for a credit towards the purchase of another product or a refund. Gramr is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Note: Gramr, Inc. changed its d/b/a name from CAUSEBOX to Alltrue on May 18, 2021.
This recall began on June 24, 2021.
