Latest Sekaer Electric Kettle Recall and Lawsuit Developments

June 2026

• June 11, 2026 – CPSC warned consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of Sekaer portable electric kettles because they can pressurize and unexpectedly release hot steam or liquid. The agency reported 116 incidents and 89 injuries, including second- and third-degree burns, and stated that Sekaer Store had not responded to its recall requests [1]

What Is the Sekaer Electric Kettle?

Sekaer electric kettles are portable stainless-steel appliances designed to heat small amounts of water. They were sold in 330 mL, 380 mL, 400 mL, and 500 mL capacities.

The kettles were available in black, white, green, white with gold, black with gold, and gray with silver. The Sekaer logo appears on the front of the product.

CPSC identified model numbers SY-618, SKE-833, SKE-840, and SKE-850. The model number may appear on the product packaging rather than directly on the kettle.

Reported Burn Hazard and Injuries

CPSC states that the kettles can pressurize and unexpectedly release hot steam or liquid. The agency’s warning does not publicly identify a specific component or engineering failure responsible for the pressure buildup.

CPSC received 116 incident reports involving hot liquid or steam releases and 89 injury reports. Reported injuries included second- and third-degree burns.

Scald burns can be caused by boiling water or steam and may occur rapidly. Serious burns can damage deeper tissue and may require specialized treatment, depending on the burn’s depth, location, and extent.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers who purchased a Sekaer portable electric kettle from Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Sears, or another online seller may be affected. The warning applies to all Sekaer portable electric kettles described by CPSC.

People who were burned when a kettle unexpectedly released hot steam or liquid may have grounds for an individual legal review. A claim would depend on product identification, medical documentation, the circumstances of the incident, and applicable state law.

Who May Be Liable?

Potentially responsible parties could include a manufacturer, importer, distributor, seller, or retailer involved in supplying the kettle. Liability would depend on evidence showing that the product was defective, that the defect caused the incident, and that the incident resulted in compensable injuries or losses.

CPSC stated that Sekaer Store had not responded to requests to conduct a recall. The absence of a cooperative recall remedy may make online order records, photographs, packaging, and seller communications especially important.

Do I Qualify?

• Were you burned when a Sekaer kettle unexpectedly released hot steam or liquid?
• Did the incident require emergency, outpatient, burn-center, or other medical treatment?
• Can you identify the kettle through photographs, packaging, model information, or purchase records?
• Did the injury cause medical expenses, scarring, lost income, or other documented losses?

Follow CPSC’s instruction to stop using and dispose of the kettle. Before disposal, and without operating or dismantling it, consumers may photograph the product, Sekaer logo, model information, packaging, and visible condition and retain their purchase and medical records.
