June 11, 2026: CPSC Issues Warning on Sekaer Electric Kettles

CPSC warned consumers to stop using and dispose of all Sekaer portable electric kettles because they pose a burn hazard that can cause serious injury or death. The notice is product safety warning 26-558 [1]. The seller, Sekaer Store, has been unresponsive to CPSC’s requests for a recall. CPSC also urges people not to sell or give away the kettles.

Who May Be Affected?

Sekaer portable electric kettles are travel-size, stainless-steel water boilers with these features:

• Four capacity sizes
• Model number SY-618, SKE-833, SKE-840 or SKE-850 on the packaging
• Colors of black, white, green, white with gold, black with gold or gray with silver
• The Sekaer logo printed on the front

The kettles were manufactured in China and sold online on Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Sears. Your own facts decide whether you have a claim, and that takes an individual legal review.

Reported Injuries or Damages

CPSC is aware of 116 reports of kettles releasing hot liquid or steam unexpectedly. The reports resulted in 89 injuries, including second- and third-degree burns. These are regulator incident reports and do not prove that a kettle caused every injury. No court has made findings about these kettles. MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine explains the burn types. Second-degree burns damage the outer layer of skin and the layer underneath. Third-degree burns go deeper [2].

Recall and Regulatory Background

CPSC’s action is a product safety warning and is not a recall. No court case or MDL exists over these kettles, according to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation [3].

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items if you or a family member was burned by a Sekaer kettle:

• Your order confirmation, receipt and the online listing
• Photographs of the kettle, its packaging, the Sekaer logo, the model number and any injury
• Medical records and bills
• Any report made to CPSC or the seller
• The date of the incident and what happened, written down while you remember it

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where a person lives and when the injury and its diagnosis happened. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so a lawyer can tell you which deadline applies to your situation and what steps come next.
