More than 150,000 electric kettles recalled over burn risks

The kettles were sold at HomeGoods stores nationwide and online at zwilling.com between December 2019 and February 2026 for $120 to $200.

WASHINGTON — More than 150,000 electric kettles are being recalled after reports of handles separating from the devices, causing hot water to spill and burn users.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Enfinigy electric kettles May 14 after getting 163 reports of handles loosening or separating. Five incidents included spilled hot contents and at least one second-degree burn injury.

The recall affects two models of 1.5-liter stainless steel kettles: the Enfinigy Electric Kettle and Enfinigy Pro Electric Kettle. They come in various colors, including: black, silver, rose, gold and white. They were sold at HomeGoods stores nationwide and online at zwilling.com between December 2019 and February 2026 for $120 to $200.

Consumers can identify recalled kettles by checking the bottom of the device and power base for “ZWILLING” branding and model numbers: 53101-200, 53101-201, 53101-500, 53101-501, 53101-502, 53101-503, and 53101-504.

Customers can get a refund for the recalled item. To receive a refund, consumers must first make the kettle unusable by unplugging it, cutting the power cord and uploading a photo of the product to www.zwilling.com/kettle-recall. The damaged kettle should then be safely thrown out. Refunds could take “up to” three weeks to go through, the recall website said. 

About 44,000 additional units were sold in Canada and 48 in Mexico. 

Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled kettles immediately due to the burn hazard.
