Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using defective portable electric car kettles, distributed by BLONGKY, because the car kettle can spew hot steam or liquid, posing a risk of serious burns to consumers.
The car kettles can unexpectedly spew steam or hot water when opened by a consumer and can also burn consumers when the lid mechanism fails and the top unexpectedly opens.
CPSC is aware of at least 11 incidents where the car kettle spewed hot steam or liquid, with nine reports of burns, including one report of second-degree burns.
The car kettles were marketed and sold under the BLONGKY brand name, with model number FCC 390 Pro, in taupe (K-Taupe) and white (K-White). The model number is printed on the front of the car kettle above the digital temperature display.
The defective car kettles have been sold online including on Amazon.com and Walmart.com for between $17 and $40. The products have also been found for sale by third-party sellers and on other websites, such as eBay.com.
