Costco is recalling certain electric kettles sold in its stores across the nation. The reason, the big-box store explained in a letter to customers, is due to an increased risk of burns. Here's what you need to know about the recall and what to do if you have one of these kettles in your kitchen.
What products are being recalled?
In a letter to customers, Costco stated that it's recalling ZWILLING Enfinigy 1.5-l and Enfinigy Pro 1.5-l electric kettles. The recall includes an estimated 113,440 electric kettles sold in the U.S., with an additional 43,963 sold in Canada and Mexico.
According to the recall notice posted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the kettles are all made of stainless steel and were sold in several colorways, including black, silver, rose, gold, and white. They are easily identifiable by the brand "ZWILLING" printed on the bottom half of the kettle.
The CPSC listed the affected model numbers as 53101-200 and 53101-201 for the standard kettle and 53101-500, 53101-501, 53101-502, 53101-503, and 53101-504 for the Pro kettle, which are all printed on the bottom of each kettle.
Why are these kettles being recalled?
According to the CPSC, the reason for the recall is that "the kettle’s handle can loosen and separate from the kettle, causing hot contents to spill, posing a risk of serious injury due to a burn hazard." To date, it added, the company has received 163 reports of the kettle’s handle loosening or breaking off. It has also received five reports of injuries, and one resulting in a second-degree burn.
Were the kettles sold anywhere else?
Costco noted that the kettles were available in stores and online at Costco.com between September 2019 and November 2025. However, the CPSC also noted that they were sold in HomeGoods stores nationwide and online at Zwilling.com between December 2019 and February 2026. The retail prices for the kettles were between $120 and $200.
What should I do if I own this kettle?
Costco shared with its members that they can return the product to their local warehouse for a full refund. The CPSC also shared that consumers should stop using them immediately. Those with questions can contact ZWILLING by phone at 866-963-4583 or by email at [email protected] for a full refund.
