Reason for Recall
The kettle's cover traps steam inside of the kettle, causing an increase in pressure. This forces hot water to rise and escape through the spout, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using these kettles immediately, to receive a free replacement cover.
