2026-02-18 – A cookware set with detachable handles sold on TikTok Shop has been linked to a burn injury incident, according to a report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The product, manufactured by Hangzhou Daqianyihe Network Technology Co., Ltd. dba Kikcoin, was reported to pose a burn hazard when a handle detached during use, resulting in burns requiring medical attention. Product DetailsBrand Name: Kikcoin Incident OverviewOn January 10, 2026, a consumer purchased a cookware set from Kikcoin Kitchen via TikTok Shop. The set featured detachable and interchangeable handles. While the consumer's daughter was straining ravioli from a pot of boiling water, the handle unexpectedly detached, causing the pot to tip. The daughter suffered first and second degree burns on both legs from her thighs to her knees from the scalding water. The incident report indicates the product was used as intended during normal cooking. The consumer stated they attempted to contact the company to alert them to the severity of the danger. The cookware set was also sold on the manufacturer's website and Amazon, though no other incidents have been reported in the CPSC database. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: When a detachable handle fails during use, the pot can tilt or drop, spilling hot contents. In this case, boiling water caused scalding burns, which can damage skin layers and require medical treatment. The failure occurred under normal cooking conditions, indicating a potential design flaw in the locking mechanism. Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using the cookware is at risk, but bystanders—especially children—near the stove are particularly vulnerable. The victim here was a child assisting with cooking, highlighting that the hazard extends beyond the primary user. Environmental Triggers: The weight and movement of straining food likely placed additional stress on the handle attachment. Boiling water adds weight and instability, increasing the likelihood of detachment if the handle is not securely locked. Warning Signs: The report does not mention any prior warning signs such as looseness or rattling. The handle may detach suddenly without audible or visual cues, making it difficult to prevent an accident. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If you own a Kikcoin cookware set with detachable handles, discontinue use until the manufacturer can be contacted and the safety of the product verified. Preserve the Product: Keep the cookware, handles, and any packaging in their current condition. Do not attempt to repair or modify the product, as it may be needed for investigation or evidentiary purposes. Document the Incident: Take photographs of the product, the failed handle, and any injuries. Keep records of purchase receipts, communications with the seller or manufacturer, and medical bills if applicable. Seek Medical Attention: Burns from boiling water can be serious. Even if the injury appears minor, have it evaluated by a medical professional to prevent infection and ensure proper treatment. Report to the CPSC: File a report at SaferProducts.gov to alert regulators and help prevent future injuries. Reference Incident Report ID 5842446.
