The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Sekaer Electric Kettles immediately because the kettles can pressurize and release hot steam or liquid unexpectedly, posing a risk of serious injury or death from burn hazard.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the kettles immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous kettles.

The products were manufactured in China.

The Sekaer logo is printed on the kettle's front and model number SY-618, SKE-833, SKE-840 or SKE-850 appears on the product packaging.

Related Recalls

The recalled coffeemakers can become clogged causing hot liquid or steam to build up and be released unexpectedly during use, posing a risk of serious injury from burn hazard.

The recalled coolers' latch magnet can detach, posing risk of serious injury or death from a choking hazard.

Metal springs in the detachable hinged lid of the insulated bowls can catch fire when used in the microwave, posing a fire hazard.

The recalled glasses violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the button cell batteries can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Additionally, the packaging and product do not have the warnings required under Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.

About the U.S. CPSC

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.

Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
