About 59,000 Rachael Ray brand two-quart teakettles are being recalled by the Meyer Corp.
Water heated in the teakettles can spill and spray while being poured, posing a burn hazard.
The firm received eight complaints about the spilling of hot water from the teakettle's spout. Four of the complaints included reports of burn injuries.
The teakettle has a stainless steel lid with a black handle and comes in four body colors: orange, blue, green, and yellow. Its spout is opened by pushing forward a small black sliding piece on the teakettle's handle.
Manufactured in Thailand, the teakettles were sold at a variety of department, housewares, and gourmet kitchen stores and at discount and online retailers. The teakettles were sold from December 2008 through October 2010 for between $18 and $40.
Consumers should immediately stop using this product, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises. Known consumers were mailed instructions for obtaining a replacement.
Consumers should contact the firm to arrange for a replacement teakettle.
For additional information or to obtain a replacement teakettle, contact Meyer U.S. at 877-782-8242 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.meyer.com/rrteakettlerecall.
