Incident Overview

According to the incident report filed on March 5, 2026, the consumer purchased three Golda Electric Tea Makers (Model GTM-007-Z4) from Amazon. Each unit failed in the same manner after a short period of normal use. The plastic handle that attaches to the glass bowl broke at the bottom connection point, causing the glass bowl to drop. At the time of failure, the kettle contained very hot water, which spilled and burned the consumer's hand. The consumer reported that all three units failed identically, indicating a potential design or manufacturing defect at the handle attachment point.

The consumer stated the product was used as intended, and the failure occurred with each unit within a short period of use. The incident required first aid from a non-medical professional. The consumer retained the products and filed the report to alert authorities to the serious burn hazard posed by the handle failure when the kettle contains boiling water.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: When the handle fails, the glass bowl containing boiling water drops, causing hot water to spill onto the user's skin or nearby surfaces. The high temperature of the water can cause first- or second-degree burns within seconds, as evidenced by the consumer's injury requiring first aid.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated use of a defective unit increases the likelihood of handle failure, potentially leading to more severe burns or injuries to bystanders. If the glass bowl shatters upon impact, additional laceration hazards may arise.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user of the tea maker is at greatest risk, but anyone nearby—such as family members or guests—could be splashed by hot water if the failure occurs during use. Children or elderly individuals may be more vulnerable to serious injury.

Warning Signs: The handle attachment point may show visible cracks, looseness, or a change in fit before complete failure. Consumers should inspect the handle regularly for any signs of wear or weakness, especially near the bottom connection to the glass bowl.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: If you own a Golda Electric Tea Maker GTM-007-Z4, discontinue use immediately to prevent potential burn injuries. Do not use the product until the manufacturer or CPSC provides further guidance.

Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not try to fix the handle yourself. Temporary adhesives or makeshift repairs may not withstand the heat and weight of boiling water, and could fail catastrophically.

Preserve the Product: Keep the tea maker and any broken parts in a safe place. Do not discard or return them to the retailer, as they may be needed for investigation or potential legal action.

Document the Incident: Take clear photographs of the broken handle, the glass bowl, and any injuries. Write down the date of purchase, the date of failure, and a detailed description of what happened.

Seek Medical Attention: If you sustained burns, seek medical evaluation even if the injury appears minor. Burns can become infected or worsen over time.

Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov with your incident details to help regulators identify potential hazards and consider recalls.
