August 14, 2025: CPSC Posts the Recall Notice
CPSC posted the recall notice for the recalled kettles on August 14, 2025. A loose infuser basket lid is the defect it names [1].
Which Wolfgang Puck Tea Kettles Are Affected?
These Wolfgang Puck Petite Tea Kettles are covered by recall 25-432:
- Product: Wolfgang Puck Stainless Steel Petite Tea Kettle with an infuser basket lid.
- Size and colors: 14 oz. kettles in beige, black, pink and red.

Look at the underside of your kettle. The words “Wolfgang Puck Petite Kettle” and a six-digit lot code appear there. Compare that code with the lot codes listed above.
Why Were the Wolfgang Puck Tea Kettles Recalled?
The Wolfgang Puck Petite Tea Kettles were recalled because the infuser basket lid is loose. It can fall off during use, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
CPSC states the defect and the hazard in its recall notice. The notice gives no finding on the cause of the loose lid.
Synergy Housewares LLC imported the kettles. It runs the recall and supplies the replacement lids, so it is the first contact for owners.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The CPSC notice lists at least 10 reports of incidents involving the kettle lids. Five of them resulted in injuries such as burns or scalding. The reports went to Synergy Housewares.
News site cleveland.com described lids detaching in use, with spilled hot liquid causing burns or scalds in five cases [2]. No deaths are reported. Reports to the company are not proof that the kettle caused every incident.
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps if you own a Wolfgang Puck Petite Tea Kettle:
- Check the underside of the kettle for the name “Wolfgang Puck Petite Kettle” and one of the recalled lot codes.
- Stop using the kettle immediately if it matches.
- Contact Synergy Housewares toll-free at 855-837-4111 or online at claims.synergyhousewares.com/recall to get a free new lid.
- Report a dangerous product or a product-related injury on SaferProducts.gov [3].
Legal Options
If a recalled kettle burned you, a lawyer can tell you whether a product liability claim fits your facts. A recall alone does not establish liability or eligibility for a claim. No lawsuit has been filed over these kettles.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and when the injury happened to you or a family member.
Talk with a lawyer promptly about the timing of any claim after a burn from the kettle lid, since the clock may already be running.
