Health Canada issued a recall on Thursday for thousands of electric water kettles in Canada due to a potential burn hazard.
Nearly 44,000 electric water kettles from the company Zwilling have been recalled in Canada for a handle that “may loosen or break off entirely during use.”
“In isolated cases, the product defect may cause hot water to spill from the kettle, creating a risk of scalding injuries to the user or bystanders in the immediate area, including small children,” the notice said.
The company said it received 21 reports of incidents in Canada and one of a potential injury.
The affected products, sold between February 2020 and February 2026, are:
