What Are Zwilling Electric Tea Kettles?
Zwilling electric tea kettles are countertop appliances used to heat water for tea, coffee, and other hot beverages. The recalled products include stainless-steel ENFINIGY kettles sold in several colors, including black, silver, rose, gold, and pure white.
The affected model numbers are 53101-200 and 53101-201 for the ENFINIGY Electric Kettle, and 53101-500, 53101-501, 53101-502, 53101-503, and 53101-504 for the ENFINIGY Electric Kettle Pro. The model numbers and “ZWILLING” marking can be found on the bottom of the kettle and power base.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Hot water spills
- Second-degree burns
- Scalding injuries to hands, arms, legs, or feet
- Emergency care, wound treatment, or scarring in serious cases
How Does the Problem Occur?
The injury risk occurs when the kettle’s handle loosens or separates while the product contains hot water. If the handle fails during lifting or pouring, boiling or near-boiling water can spill onto the user or someone nearby.
Because electric kettles are commonly used in kitchens, offices, dorm rooms, and shared spaces, a sudden handle failure can happen during routine use. Consumers were instructed to stop using the recalled kettles immediately and contact ZWILLING for a full refund.
