The product, in the report: Black Chefmate 2-quart tea kettle , sold exclusively at Target by Wilton Industries
I was boiling water with the Chefmate 2-quart tea kettle. The kettle failed to whistle and the bottom of the kettle burned onto the stove burner. This caused a large amount of smoke.

First aid Made Aug 25, 2013, sent to the company Sep 3, 2013, published by CPSC Sep 24, 2013
The product, in the report: Black aluminum tea kettle with black handle and black spout. It is imprinted with Chefmate on the bottom.
My husband, [REDACTED], was using the teapot. When pouring out the boiling water into a ceramic tea cup the steam traveled up his hand and arm. The steam scorched his skin. He was sore to the touch for a few days, no infection resulted so a doctor was not needed. Aloe vera was all that was applied to his burn. He has not used it since. I, [REDACTED], have used it carefully and with an oven mit, as I have not purchased a new teapot yet.
