The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/29/2024) Mirama Enterprises Inc. dba Aroma Housewares Company: August 28, 2024
U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION Attn: Clearinghouse 4330 East West Highway Bethesda, MD 20814-4408
RE: Report ID #20240817-87B92-2147337140
U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION:
The following is in response to Report ID #20240817-87B92-2147337140, Aroma Electric Water Kettle Model AWK-151B, cULus certificate #E132091.
Aroma Housewares has been an industry leader in household small kitchen appliances for over 46 years. Aroma receives, investigates, and responds to any and all claims with the utmost attention and diligence. Our manufacturing team maintains strict quality control and assurance procedures, subjecting all products to robust testing to meet and exceed the requirements established by UL or FDA.
After receiving the email notice from CPSC on 8/21/2024, we immediately reached out to the submitter [REDACTED] through email [REDACTED] and by phone [REDACTED]. We received a prompt reply and she graciously completed an “Incident Report Form” for us and provided the following images:
1. The kettle in concern with a Power Cord Plug 2. Rating Label of the water kettle 3. Wall Outlet where the kettle was plugged in
Based upon the pictures provided by the submitter, we see the outer shell of the plug is intact leading us to conclude that the overheating took place at the base of the Hot Blade only. This is also supported by the fact that the Wall Outlet is more severely damaged than the Plug. As we have yet to inspect the actual unit, our current belief is that the overheating was caused by poor contact between the power cord plug and the wall outlet at the Hot Pin. As a courtesy, we offered the submitter a free replacement with a premium digital water kettle (AWK-162D) in exchange for returning the damaged unit. We have made several attempts to contact her to have the unit in question returned, but have yet to receive a response.
With regard to the unit itself, we have sold over 230,000 units to Target in the past 5 years and have not had any other issues with the power cord on an AWK-151B melting. This appliance has received UL certification as a safe product after rigorous testing and adherence to their manufacturing standards. Product safety and customer satisfaction are at the forefront of our corporate philosophy and areas where we are continually striving for excellence.
The undersigned declares and verifies that the information in this response is true and accurate to the best of his knowledge. Further, the undersigned certifies that he intends, in good faith, to assist the Commission by providing any information requested to review the claim.
Respectfully Submitted,

The product, in the report: Aroma Water Kettle Model no AWK-108 black (120V 60Hz 1500W - made in China

This morning our Aroma Kettle exploded with a loud bang. It wasnt in use but my wife place our kid’s lunch bag near it and it may have pressed and held down the button for heating.
It was deafening, very scary and could have injured someone if someone was closer to the kettle as it sent a strange metal looking powder around which might have be hot or dangerous.
The kettle was less than a year old. Model no AWK-108. See photo to get serial number (not clear which number it is).
In all transparency, we did recently (a few weeks ago) also moved the kettle to a different plug inside the kitchen as it was always triggering a safety Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters of a plug with GFCIs. Nothing seemed wrong with the kettle. It worked on other plug in the kitchen. In hindsight, this seems like a very bad idea that we just ignored it was triggering the GFCI but it worked fine for weeks.
Perhaps this safety (interruptor) should really be on the Kettle more than the plug itself.
So we are a bit unsure what caused this. We think it worth putting the word out regarding our safety concern with this product.

The product, in the report: Digital Glass Electric Kettle

Aroma Professional Digital Glass Electric Tea Kettle, Model AWC-155DI. Lid assembly is made from cheap plastic parts that fall apart after a few weeks of regular use. The lid falls when pouring off causing boiling water and/or steam to rush out. I have sustained minor steam burns but feel the potential is there for more serious injuries.

The product, in the report: Aroma AWK-115S Hot H20 X-Press 1-1/2-Liter Cordless Water Kettle: An electric water heater with a detachable stainless steel reservoir.

The electric kettle has an automatic shut-off function. However that stopped working after several months. I bought the kettle because I have a tendency to forget about water boiling. As a result twice it has super-heated and boiled itself dry, creating a hazard.

The product, in the report: Electric Water Kettle

Manufacture - Aroma Model Number - AWK-115S Electric Water Kettle
The AWK-115S is supposed to shut off when water reaches boiling. Today it did not shut off and got extremely hot. I did not let it boil the water off to see if it would have caught fire, but I suspect it would have melted down, hopefully tripping a circuit breaker before starting a fire.
