The product, in the report: The Primula® Borosilicate two-quart clear glass round kettle has no markings or etchings on the glass. Model PTKG-4420 has a green plastic handle with a green silicone insert in the handle and a green whistling-stopper lid. Model PTKB-4420 has a black plastic handle with a black silicone insert in the handle and a black whistling-stopper lid. Both models have a ½” metal band around the glass kettle’s neck. “Not for dishwasher” is printed in raised letters underneath the lid.
Regarding Pyrex kettle Model PTKG-4420 (Green): I filled my kettle from the tap and put it on the burner of my electric stove then turned on the burner. As I was doing chores in another area of the kitchen, I heard a cracking sound and went to the stove. Through the water, I could see cracks spidering out on the bottom of the kettle. I took it off the burner and set it in the sink. I was worried about the kettle shattering as pyrex can sometimes do so I covered the kettle with 2 tea towels and left it alone as it cooled. Once cooled, I poured the water out and saw that it was badly cracked. Overnight, the cracks got worse and are now up the side of the kettle. I really like the way it looks, though, so when searching for a replacement online I found the recall.
