Why it was recalled
According to the CPSC notice, the identified hazard is: The recalled kettles are stainless steel, have a glass cover, and have the model number 4302, which is located on the bottom of the kettle. The kettles, which can hold 2 quarts of water, also have the name "Calphalon" printed on the glass cover. Kettles that have a green sticker next to the bar code on the bottom of the box contain retrofitted covers and are not included in this recall. Hazards: The kettle's cover traps steam inside of the kettle, causing an increase in pressure. This forces hot water to rise and escape through the spout, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.
