What's Being Recalled
The recall covers two ENFINIGY models, both in 1.5-liter capacity:
- ENFINIGY Electric Kettle — model numbers 53101-200 and 53101-201
- ENFINIGY Electric Kettle Pro — model numbers 53101-500, 53101-501, 53101-502, 53101-503, and 53101-504
The kettles were sold at HomeGoods stores nationwide and directly at zwilling.com from December 2019 through February 2026, priced between $120 and $200. The recall covers approximately 113,440 units in the United States, plus 43,963 in Canada and 48 in Mexico. The CPSC recall number is 26-489, classified as a Fast Track Recall.
The Safety Hazard
ZWILLING and the CPSC report that the kettle's handle can loosen and separate from the body during use. When that happens, the kettle becomes uncontrollable and boiling or near-boiling water can spill directly onto the user or anyone nearby.
The company has received 163 total reports of handles loosening or detaching. Of those, five were confirmed injury incidents, including one documented case of a second-degree burn.
ZWILLING sold these kettles for more than six years across retail and online channels. That means affected units could still be in active daily use in kitchens across the country — including those purchased as gifts years ago.
What Consumers Should Do
The CPSC and ZWILLING advise owners to take the following steps:
- Stop using the kettle immediately.
- Unplug the kettle and cut the power cord to make it permanently unusable.
- Photograph the disabled product clearly showing the cut cord.
- Visit zwilling.com/kettle-recall to submit a refund claim and upload the required photo.
- Dispose of the kettle safely and receive a full refund.
Consumers can also contact ZWILLING's recall team directly:

The company is asking that anyone who received one of these kettles as a gift — or who has gifted one to someone else — notify the current user about the recall.
Why This Matters
ZWILLING is a premium brand with a strong reputation among serious home cooks. The ENFINIGY line sits at the higher end of the consumer market, and many buyers will not have expected a structural failure from a $120–$200 appliance. That trust gap makes this recall especially important to flag.
Spilled boiling water is one of the most dangerous kitchen hazards — burns from hot liquids account for a significant share of home kitchen injuries each year. A detaching handle is particularly dangerous because there is no warning before it fails. The user is typically mid-pour, holding the kettle at an angle, when the handle gives way.
With more than 113,000 units affected in the US alone, and a six-year sales window, there is a meaningful chance that an affected kettle is still on a counter in regular use. Anyone who purchased an ENFINIGY kettle — or received one as a gift — should check the model number before using it again.
Conclusion
ZWILLING's recall of the ENFINIGY Electric Kettle and ENFINIGY Electric Kettle Pro covers more than 113,000 units in the United States. The hazard is real, has already caused injury, and the product has been sold for years through major retailers. Owners should stop using it immediately and file for a full refund at zwilling.com/kettle-recall.
