The product is the Evaco Whistling Kettle No. 20020-B. Company address: Evaco, 285 Bel Marin Keys Blvd, Unite C, Novato, CA 94949-5763 800-7822738. Email: evacoimp@aol.com The warranty for this tea kettle does not cover kettles boiled dry or subjected to excessive heat.
On Sunday, May 21, 2017 I boiled dry our tea kettle dry over excessive heat, both things that should not have happened. 1) I had the heat too high 2) the whistle did not go off alerting me that the water was boiling.
Unfortunately, a flaw to these tea kettles (this is the second one I have owned) is that the whistle will not work unless the lid to the teapot is fitted snugly down on top of the kettle.
Because a recent guest had most likely taken the lid of the teapot off, there was not an adequate seal to have the whistle go off.
I picked up the tea kettle from the electric burner, noted that there was no water in it, and turned toward the middle of the kitchen. The bottom fell off the tea kettle, and layers of molten metal (tin?) hit the floor and splashed in small to 2” globs all about the floor of the kitchen, an approximate 6’ radius. The hardwood floor in the kitchen burned underneath the molten metal.
Luckily one one splash landed on me which gave me a severe burn.
Even though I used the tea kettle as directions said not to by using excessive heat, it’s a tea kettle and situations like mine are bound to happen because the whole point of a tea kettle is to put it on heat and boil water.
A better warning should be made to consumers, such as: Excessive heat will cause the bottom to fall off and molten metal will splash down causing possible physical burns and fires as a result.
Please have this company produce a safer Whistling Kettle, fix the flawed lid which stops the tea kettle from whistling, and issue warnings to what will happen is the tea kettle is overheated.
