Lenox Teapot Recalled for Burn Injury Hazard

What Tea Kettles Were Recalled?
This recall involves Lenox 2.5-Quart Whistling Stainless Steel Tea Kettle with a 3-layered bottom. The tea kettles were sold in a variety of colors, including blue, red, silver, and gold. The bottom measures 7″ in diameter. “Lenox” is written on the sides and the bottom of the kettle.
They were manufactured by Continuum Sales & Marketing Corp., of Port Washington, New York.

The recalled Lenox teapots were sold at Burlington, HomeGoods, Home Sense, Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Tuesday Morning, and Winners stores nationwide from September 2013 through November 2017 for between $30 and $50.
What is the Risk?
Burn injuries are extremely painful and they may result in lifelong scarring. For more severe burns, treatment may involve hospitalization and excruciating skin graft surgery or debridement.
