The product, in the report: The Michael Graves signature tea pot sold by JC Penny attachment 1.
I own a Michael Graves signature tea pot sold by J. C. Penny. I recently placed it approx half full on my stove. I waited for the whistle to blow and then opened the spout to pour water. I didn’t realise the spout had been heated to a dangerous level. When the boiled water poured over the super heated spout, the water blew out of the spout like a geyser. No one was in the range of the flying water, but they would have been seriously burned if someone had been facing me and the pot.

The product, in the report: Michael Graves Spinning Whistle Teakettle, from Target
Multiple times using this teapot on our stove...once the water boils, and we flip up the plastic piece on the spout and begin pouring, the plastic piece snaps back down, causing boiling water to spatter (including on my wife and me). This is extremely dangerous, especially if someone has skin exposed.
