Macy’s has issued a recall for certain Arch Studio tea kettles due to a burn hazard, and affected customers can get a full refund, even without a receipt.
If you bought a tea kettle from Macy’s recently, this is one you don’t want to ignore.
Why This Recall Was Issued
The recall was issued because:
- The kettle’s handle can detach when heated
- This creates a serious burn risk from hot water or steam
There have been 3 reported incidents of handles detaching. No injuries have been reported so far, but the risk is serious enough to trigger a nationwide recall.
