That sleek stainless‑steel kettle on your counter might be a little more exciting than you bargained for. Zwilling has recalled roughly 113,440 of its ENFINIGY 1.5‑liter and ENFINIGY Pro electric kettles in the United States after reports that the handles can loosen or even detach while the kettles are full of hot water, creating a serious burn risk. Owners of the affected stainless‑steel models are being told to stop using them immediately and follow the company’s refund and disposal instructions.
On May 14, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published a recall notice listing about 113,440 units in the U.S., with additional kettles sold in Canada and Mexico. The agency identifies the affected model numbers (53101‑200, 53101‑201, and 53101‑500 through 53101‑504), notes that the kettles were sold at HomeGoods and online at zwilling.com from December 2019 through February 2026, and puts the original retail price in the roughly $120 to $200 range. The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the kettles, make them unusable (for example, by unplugging the unit and cutting the cord), upload a photo as part of a refund claim, and follow the return directions laid out by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Zwilling says it launched its product‑safety recall on April 20 and has opened an online portal where owners can register for refunds. The company says affected customers will receive a full refund. Its recall notice lists a range of retailers that carried the ENFINIGY kettles and provides a toll‑free number (866‑963‑4583) and an email address ([email protected]) for anyone who needs help with the process. For step‑by‑step instructions and the registration form, see Zwilling's recall page.
International Notices And A Reported Burn
Safety concerns surfaced overseas before the U.S. action. Authorities in the UK issued an official product‑recall notice, and regulators in Hong Kong warned consumers to stop using affected kettles after at least one person reportedly suffered second‑degree burns, as reported by the South China Morning Post. Those international alerts highlight that the defect has shown up in multiple markets as manufacturers and safety agencies try to track down owners.
How To Check Your Kettle
If you are wondering whether your kettle is part of the recall, start by checking the capacity label or the model number printed on the bottom of the unit. The product is affected only if it is marked “MAX 1.5 L” or has a 10‑cup capacity. The UK recall information also includes barcodes and color descriptions to help identify impacted units, including black, silver, gold, and rose versions. For photos and a detailed breakdown, see the images and listings in the UK recall notice.
Incidents Reported In The U.S.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (recall number 26‑489), Zwilling has received 163 complaints about handles loosening or separating. Five of those involved the handle detaching while the kettle was in use, including one report of a second‑degree burn. In response, the agency has classified the kettles as a serious burn hazard and is urging that they be taken out of service right away.
Next Steps For Owners
If you have one of the affected Zwilling ENFINIGY or ENFINIGY Pro 1.5‑liter kettles, stop using it immediately and head to the company’s recall portal to register for a refund. Zwilling asks owners to complete the online form or get in touch by phone at 866‑963‑4583 or by email at [email protected] if they need help with the claim. The company also urges customers to alert anyone who may have borrowed, bought secondhand, or received one of the kettles about the recall, according to Zwilling's recall page.
