What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (scalding water) where serious injury could result (second-degree burn reported). Although only one burn injury has been reported among 163 separation/loosening incidents, the hazard is substantive and documented, meeting the High threshold.

The kettles have stainless-steel construction with colors including black, silver, rose, gold, and pure-white, and carry the "ZWILLING" silk-printed marking.
