The problem: the kettle's handle can loosen and detach from the body of the kettle, causing boiling hot liquid to pour out and putting consumers at serious risk of burns.

Over 113,000 Electric Kettles Sold at HomeGoods Recalled After Reports of Burns, Handle Separations — Enfinigy 1.5-liter and Enfinigy Pro 1.5-liter electric kettles recalled over burn risk on May 14, 2026 (CPSC)

More than 113,000 electric kettles sold across the United States have been recalled after the manufacturer received dozens of reports of handles breaking loose—and at least one customer suffering a second-degree burn.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced last week that ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Aktiengesellschaft is recalling its Enfinigy 1.5-liter and Enfinigy Pro 1.5-liter electric kettles. The recall covers about 113,440 units sold in the United States, along with an additional roughly 43,963 units sold in Canada and about 48 sold in Mexico.

The problem: the kettle's handle can loosen and detach from the body of the kettle, causing boiling hot liquid to pour out and putting consumers at serious risk of burns.

The company has logged 163 reports of handles loosening or separating from the kettles. Of those, five incidents involved the handle actually detaching—including one case in which a consumer sustained a second-degree burn.

The recalled kettles are stainless steel and were sold in black, silver, rose, gold, and pure-white finishes. The ZWILLING brand name is silk-printed directly onto each kettle. Affected model numbers include 53101-200 and 53101-201 for the standard Enfinigy, and 53101-500 through 53101-504 for the Enfinigy Pro. Those numbers, along with the brand name, can be found stamped on the underside of both the kettle and its power base.

The kettles were available at HomeGoods stores nationwide and through zwilling.com between December 2019 and February 2026, with retail prices ranging from $120 to $200. They were manufactured in China by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Aktiengesellschaft, based in Solingen, Germany, and distributed in the U.S. by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels, LLC, of Pleasantville, New York.

Consumers are urged to stop using the kettle immediately. To claim a full refund, U.S. customers are instructed to visit www.zwilling.com/kettle-recall, where they will be asked to unplug the appliance, cut the power cord and upload a photo of the product before safely tossing it out. The company can also be reached toll-free at 866-963-4583 or by email at [email protected].

The ZWILLING recall is one of several appliance-related safety actions taken by the CPSC in recent months.

In late April, the agency announced a recall of 50 DGIVOVO US electric pressure washers sold on Amazon.com. Those units were sold between October 2025 and January 2026 for about $90 and were found to lack a required ground-fault circuit-interrupter, creating a risk of electric shock or electrocution. No injuries had been reported as of the recall date.

Earlier the same month, the CPSC announced a recall of about 433 Fisher & Paykel free-standing professional gas ranges sold in the United States, with another roughly 70 units recalled in Canada. The high-end appliances—priced between $6,200 and $14,000 and sold at Factory Builder Stores, Albert Lee Inc., and other appliance retailers from June 2025 through March 2026—were found to pose a burn hazard due to delayed oven ignition.

The delay allows gas to accumulate before igniting, which can force the oven door open from the resulting combustion. The firm received 18 reports of delayed ignition and one report of a minor burn injury. Fisher & Paykel is offering free in-home inspections and ignitor repairs; consumers can still use the cooktop burners in the meantime. The company can be reached toll-free at 866-936-7327 or at techpaykel.com. The ranges were manufactured in Thailand.
