  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 17, 2021, sent to the company Feb 8, 2021, published by CPSC Feb 23, 2021

    The product, in the report: Kitchen Aid electric kettle, stainless steel. Model number KEK1722SX; serial number YA63902612.

    I filled my Kitchen Aid electric kettle, placed it on the base and pushed the power button. The kettle heated to 100 degrees C, beeped and turned off. I removed the kettle from the base and when I tipped it to pour water into my mug the top of the handle broke away from the kettle body and boiling water flew everywhere. After allowing the kettle to cool I looked at the handle to see what had happened and it appears the screws holding the handle to the body slid right through the screw holes.
